This bird is definitely yellow, not orange. The markings look to me pretty much like a juvenile Baltimore oriole. Except that its beak, legs, and feet are orange. You can see this in the snapshot.
Yellow belly and back, black and white wings, greyish yellow head. Black eyes.
Apologies for the low quality of the photo, it was taken very quickly, through the window, with a bit of reflection of the curtain on the window.
Do Baltimore orioles ever have orange beaks and legs? And if not, then what is this bird? It is alone in my yard, and keeps pecking at its reflection in my windows.
The yard is at the edge of the woods, with a large, slow-moving creek. I add that in case it makes a difference. :)
