More information:

The Black-hooded Oriole is a widespread resident in India and its striking yellow plumage with a black hood stands out amongst the vegetation. Open broad-leafed forests are their primary habitat, however it is not uncommon to sight them in well-wooded areas like village groves and plantations. The immature have yellow forehead, streaked throat and not so solid black hoods.
