Hey folks, my daughter got this video and I think it might be an Audubon’s Oriole. Seen near Placitas, NM. Confirmation or? Appreciated.

Connie,  It is more likely a Scott's Oriole. I think I see white wing bars when it flies.

Connie:
Just comparing it with the song on the Sibley's app, it sounds a lot like Scott's Oriole, which has similar black-over-yellow plumage, too.
Scott's Oriole's summer range would include that part of NM as well, according to Sibley's.
Audubon's call and song (again, on the Sibley's app) are more whistley than this, too -- and its usual range is far more limited (far south Texas).
Either way, a nice bird!

To me the bird looks orange not yellow. I don’t think it’s a Scott’s oriole.

Song seems closer to Scott’s Oriole.

Definitely a Scott's Oriole, by song.
