Hooded. We don't get Golden species here. Only so far Bullock's, Hooded, Baltimore (rare) and Orchard (rare)

I think it is Hooded Oriole as well. Though there are a few subspecies of this. From my book it is most likely Icterus cucullatus nelsoni. Neat!

This is NOT the Eurasian Golden Oriole. The Eurasian is not seen in the United States and actually has no resemblance to the picture. This is the Hooded Oriole
