Amazon/Brazil (Santarem - Alter do Chao) - unknown bird (1 Viewer)

[AUZ]

Can't identify this yellow bird. Could be a Warbler. But nothing found for this region: Alter do Chao near Santarem (Amazon/Brasil). It is a low quality video still from an older video (24th December, 2012). I think the (red) surrounding of the eyes are very noticeable. Nevertheless I found no yellow bird with such eyes. Maybe someone can help in identifying this bird.

Welcome to BirdForum. Your bird looks quite a lot like an Oriole Blackbird and I suspect it probably is one. There are a few odd features e.g. the black crown and white flanks. Maybe a young bird?

how about juvenile / immature oriole blackbird?

Oriole blackbird. Looks like it may be the immatures that have the black cap - not illustrated by van Perlo.
