Both species flick their tails.

The status of Hooded/Orchard orioles in winter in California is very
confused.  I have never seen an unequivocal wintering Hooded Oriole in the
state and suspect that most (all?) orioles of this type wintering in
California are probably Orchard.  

Do you have photos?
