Because in most male American Redstarts the yellow feathers shown in this photo are red and some Ornithologist who collected and described it in the 16 or 17th century named it that.
Is this image taken in the fall time of year. Birds change appearance drastically in the fall of the year. Or is this a bird from the South America? They have a lot different coloring down there. Attached is a image of a Redstart male and female from last May.
