Please help me identify this orange headed bird

(Red Deer, Alberta)
I have beautiful bird visiting my feeder lately. It has the colouring and belly striations of a female blackburnian warbler (the head is a creamsicle orange colour) but the beak resembles that of a grosbeak or a finch. It is not a crossbill. It is a little larger than a finch. Any ideas?
CommentThe only other bird that I can think of that matches those colourings and beak, is an immature oriole; Baltimore or Bullock. Would love a picture if you can get one.
