[Bullock's Oriole?]

In the field, I thought it was a Baltimore which is quite common where I took these pictures (near Houston, TX) but Merlin ID keeps insisting that it is a Bulocks which is not unheard of but quite rare in this area. The park where I took these pictures got on gorgeous male bullocks a couple of years ago so I am asking for your opinions here. I can see the more yellowish face  with a bit darker cap than expected for Baltimore, along with quite extensive white in the wing coverts. Is that enough?

Thanks in advance
