Bird associated with bats (6)

I believe the answer is:

oriole

(Other definitions for oriole that I've seen before include "Golden-yellow bird" , "(Tropical or American) songbird" , "Baseball player in Baltimore" , "Black and yellow US bird" , "Bright-plumaged bird" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
