Black Naped Oriole
Finally manage to nail the elusive one . It a juvenile basing on its ruff. A loner this one Feeding on grubs on the India cherry tree in my housing enclave. Definately a male with pink beak and black mask back to the nape. Female a bit duller
Apparently the population of the specie may be partly to escape cage-birds.

this is likely an adult oriole, possibly seems to dirty bcoz it might be currently moulting? The immature or younger birds have black bills, possibly this might be a very young adult as well where it is currently moulting into a full adult.
