Description
The male is striking, with the typical oriole black and yellow colouration. The plumage is predominantly yellow, with a solid black hood, and black also in the wings and tail centre. The female black-hooded oriole is a drabber bird with greenish underparts, but still has the black hood. Young birds are like the female, but have dark streaking on the underparts, and their hood is not solidly black, especially on the throat. The black head of this species is an obvious distinction from the Indian golden oriole, which is a summer visitor to northern India. Orioles can be shy, and even the male may be difficult to see in the dappled yellow and green leaves of the canopy. The black-hooded oriole's flight is somewhat like a thrush, strong and direct with some shallow dips over longer distances. While foraging the species uses foliage-gleening, wood-gleening, or sallying methods.

Habitat
Black-hooded Oriole predominantly inhabits diverse wooded environments including dry dipterocarp and mixed deciduous moist forests, semi-evergreen and evergreen forests, and forest edges. Additionally, black-hooded Oriole occupies swamp-forests, mangroves, and mature secondary growth areas. It adapts well to human-altered landscapes such as scrublands, plantations, orchards, particularly mango groves, avenue trees, parks, and gardens within villages. Typically found at elevations below 1200m, black-hooded Oriole occasionally ascends to 1800m in parts of its range, thriving across broad geographical regions of South Asia and Southeast Asia.
