391:). The adult males and females are black overall, with distinctive yellow patches on shoulders, rump, and under-tail coverts extending to the lower breast. Like most tropical oriole species, the females are similar or identical to the males in coloring. In juvenile Hispaniolan orioles, the upper parts are mainly olive, while the underparts are dull yellow. The wings are black, and the throat is sometimes a black or reddish-brown that is not clearly demarcated. The length of the Hispaniolan oriole is an average of 20–22 cm, with males weighing 35–38 g while the females weigh 33–40 g. A similar species that is often mistaken for the Hispaniolan oriole is the

443:. It resides in tropical and subtropical forests, forest edges, woodlands, and gardens, from the coast to mid-elevations in mountains. However, it is not as common at higher elevations. They are commonly found where palm fronds are available for nesting, and are also found on the many shaded coffee plantations on the island. The Hispaniolan oriole seems to be rare in Hispaniolan pine (
449:) forests, in the highlands of the Dominican Republic; however, other species of orioles, such as the Bahama oriole, have been documented nesting in pine forests. Since there has been no published population assessment, there is a possibility that the Hispaniolan oriole can be found nesting in pine forests.

Hispaniolan oriole's breeding season is from March to June, although it can breed irregularly at other times of the year. The eggs are white, with a pale blue hue, and have dark brown spots. On average, the clutch size is 3 eggs. They usually make their nest on the underside of banana trees or
