I believe it is an Acadian Flycatcher, most common flycatcher found at
Soldier's Delight followed by Eastern Wood-pewee (which lacks any distinct
facial markings as well as bold wing bars). The lack of a bold eyering
excludes Least and Yellow-bellied Flycatchers. Coloration could be
affected by light reflection from canopy/ground. Certainly not an oriole:)
