An interesting bird came to play in the artificial rain (sprinkler) the other day and after had to dry off in the sun. I caught it only after with its feathers all fluffed out and wet. I suspect a Baltimore Oriole here but would like a confirmation or/and a better ID. Thanks so much in advance!

The tail has the yellow fans on each side in the 2nd photo (Krypos probably taught me that)- it's a female Redstart.

I always read in Start Date order, and I had to catch up from last Wednesday. I saw the repost later, so that makes sense.
And the normal shelf life for mis-IDs has to be less than an hour around here!
