En promedio mide 18 cm de longitud y pesa 34 g. Esta ave recibe su nombre vulgar debido a que los colores del macho son similares a los colores que ostenta el escudo de Lord Baltimore. Antiguamente se consideraba que esta especie e Icterus bullockii eran una misma especie.
Su cola es relativamente corta. La parte alta de su mandíbula es recta. Los adultos poseen un pico en punta y franjas blancas en sus alas. El macho adulto es color anaranjado en su zona inferior, hombros y trasero. Todo el resto del cuerpo del macho es negro. La hembra adulta posee su zona inferior de color amarillo-marrón; en las partes superiores con alas oscuras, y pleno anaranjado en pecho y cogote.
El macho entona un silbido fuerte y aflautado, el cual permite ubicar la posición del ave mucho antes de haberla podido avistar.
