This Black-headed oriole is, of course, closely related to the Euroasian Golden Oriole. Like that species, the body color of the Black-headed oriole is intense yellow, with a greenish touch on the back (much like a female of the Golden oriole). Unlike the Golden oriole, however, the Black-headed oriole, has, as the name suggests, a black head, which frames the stark red eye in a powerful way. The bill is red. The diet consists of fruits and berries of various kinds.
