sorry i forgot to update this spotting. i decided that it was a female orchard oriole with berries on her beak(giving it a pink effect) and other photos of her showed that the angle she was perched in made her beak look rounder and less curved. and the reason she looked so small was because sometimes when birds aren't in a group they look bigger or smaller.

That's a tough one, I can't really think of any birds that match that description other than an Orchard Oriole. Could it possibly be an Oriole fledgling?
