Wow, I've never even heard of a Northern Oriole. And never looked at the top of a chestnut sided's head. So cool!

Great pictures!
No 4 is a White-crowned Sparrow.

And Baltimore and Bullock's Orioles are currently considered separate species. The were lumped as Northern Oriole between 1973 and 1995.

A Northern Oriole is essentially a Baltimore Oriole.
The new name has been adopted because the Baltimore often
mates with a Bullock's Oriole and the results are confusing.
By calling it a Northern Oriole it covers all the bases.

Thank you so much. I recognized the male, but I didn't know females have spots on their heads. I had a yellowish bird came pecking on my orange today, I spooked it away before I could take a look by accident. Hope it's something as exciting as a female scarlet tanager. But since it's my first winged orange visitor, I am content with any bird.
