I'm sure it's a Black-bodied Yellowbird
Bird names.
Skipping recent, somewhat
political dust-ups in the common names of many bird species,
and skipping the sometimes massive reclassification of bird species based on gene sequencing, we're still left with some
odd common names.
John James Audubon (
ahem, one of the epicenters of the
political side of the bird naming imbroglio

) did much of his field ornithology with the help of a shotgun.

He examined birds in hand and was wont to name them on the basis of features that
weren't obvious on living birds
in situ.
Here's one of my favorite examples.
As you may know, there's a woodpecker species (common in the US South, and drifting northwards) called the
red-headed woodpecker*.
This is
not it.
The two males in the photos above are
red-bellied woodpeckers. 
Extremely careful examination (e.g., of a corpse!) may show a reddish wash on the abdomen of members of this species.
As to the
unmistakable red head color, seen on males, and (in a smaller patch) also on the females... I guess the name was already taken.
PS This isn't a
red-headed woodpecker, either.

It's a
pileated woodpecker.

red headed woodpecker.
actually, not so random! source:

Both red-headed and red-bellied woodpeckers can be found in the same habitat; e.g., at Huntley Meadows regional park in Alexandria, VA -- just a George Washington-grade silver-dollar-throw across the Potomac River from Washington, DC.
