The yellow oriole (Icterus nigrogularis) is a passerine bird in the family Icteridae.

The yellow oriole is also called the plantain and small corn bird, and in Venezuela it is known as gonzalito.

The female is similar, but slightly duller, and the juvenile bird has an olive-tinged yellow back, and lacks black on the face.

They differ from the widespread nominate race of the mainland in body and bill size, and minor plumage details.

The species eats mainly large insects, but also consumes nectar and some fruit (such as berries, cherries, mangoes and bananas).
