Observation details

Two female birds observed together in the same tree. Both birds have a bare patch of skin around the eye, which looked either red or blue-grey, depending on the light. Bill shorter and stockier than in Olive-backed Oriole. At least one of the birds was occasionally calling, a distinctive somewhat squawk-like call.
