I think this is a Baltimore Oriole:

The wing markings look right.

I couldn't get him to turn so I could get a photo including his beak
before he hopped around the corner.

Leon is correct, it's a Towhee. Northern Orioles are _really_ orange
-- as in Dayglo ;-)

You'll rarely see an Oriole on the ground, whiereas it's unusual to
see a Towhee anywhere else. They like scuffing around in leaves and
stuff, like this one is doing.

Do you have a field guide?

Whatever works.

Based on what you've posted, you get quite a variety in your back
yard! Wish I got some of your birds ...

Oh, I had a field guide but it was fairly specific to when I lived in
West Tennessee. I do see some different birds here in South Carolina.

I'm jealous because the man I work for only lives about 20 miles from me
and he sees Painted Buntings! When he mentioned that I pulled up an
image online and said, "Do you mean *these*?!" He said yes, they're all
over the place. I think I may have seen a female painted bunting once
at my little birdbath but I have never seen one of the brilliant males.
He doesn't do a darn thing to attract them, either. They just show up.

They're here late spring till mid summer to breed and then head
back to South America for winter. Have this really neat song that I've
known since I was a kid ;-)

Yes, I'm sure you're right.

I've never seen a Bobolink here in NJ, although I think we had them
when I lived in western Pennsylvania. They do have a nice song.

We do have Meadowlarks here, but like so many other songbirds, I
rarely seem them anymore. So many kinds of birds have just fallen off
the radar since I moved here (almost 30 years ago). Birds are in
trouble.

Heard my first one of the season just a few days ago :)

Years ago I heard a Western Meadowlark but even with binoculars and
numerous attempts I could never lay eyes on it...

Funny story... years ago I was out walking (I walk a lot) in ~January.
Nasty cold, snowy day and I heard a "Meadowlark" singing. What??? no
way in January. I looked around and the only birds in sight were a
group of Starlings in the farmers feedlot. Hmm... Starlings=mimics
bingo! One of them was mimicking the Meadowlarks song. Not exactly the
same but close enough to fool me for a bit ;-)
