The red-winged blackbird is all black, and has a red and yellow spot on either shoulder. Although, often you can only see yellow, only red, or neither.

But if it was FOR SURE orange, its probably an Oriole. Red-wings tend to travel together, but spread out over a small area.
All of the google pictures of orioles have orange bellies so I'm thinking probably not, and the Red-wing blackbird pictures look just like what I saw.


Thanks man.
