Hi Jack,
Just to make you happy I have changed the name. There is an infinitesimal amount of yellow in the wing coverts edges and tail tip. The belly and crissum is supposed to be yellow as well. I agree it is a misleading name.
 
Wow, letting aside the confusing name of this beauty, the singing bird is a real delight, and what a capture!!! Love your neat pic, showing so well the pretty pattern of his wing and tail! It is really good! :t:
