Not hard to mistake the two. Especially an orchard oriole
I disagree. Even with that picture at that distance, I can tell it's not an oriole.

Bird nerd level details, but they are technically no longer called Rufous sided towhee, which is the only reason why this is "absolutely" not the correct the answer ;)
The Rufous Sided Towhee used to include both the western and eastern birds, but they've now been split into "Spotted Towhee" out west, and "Eastern Towhee" east.

I once knew a man who refused to call the former Louisiana Heron by it's current common name, the tricolored heron. He went on a pretty hilarious tirade about it one day, and even suggested we should quit using "Carolina" in the names of chickadees and wrens...

The generic identification would be a “colorful dickie bird”, and it would always be correct.
