The pale baywing (Agelaioides fringillarius), formerly known as the pale cowbird, is a species of bird in the family Icteridae. It is currently placed in the genus Agelaioides, but has traditionally been placed in the genus Molothrus. It was formerly considered conspecific with the greyish baywing, with the combined species then known as bay-winged cowbird.

It is endemic to northeastern Brazil, where it is primarily found in the Caatinga and the northern Cerrado.
