Related Species
A member of the northern oriole group, Bullock's orioles were once considered to be conspecific with Baltimore orioles and Black-backed orioles. However, recent phylogenetic data suggest that Bullock's orioles are members of a distinct species that does not share a most-recent common ancestor with Baltimore orioles, as was once assumed.
