Abeille's Oriole

This Oriole has started to visit my feeding station. It was formerly lumped in with Bullock's Oriole (as in Howell and Webb), but has actually recently been split from this species.

Now known as Abeille's Oriole or Black-backed Oriole, this species is endemic to central Mexico. What a bonus to have another endemic visiting my garden on a regular basis.
