I took another look at this, and have to concur the size of the bill says black-bellied, although the head plumage really looks more like golden. Also factored in - the black-bellied winters here, while the golden is generally seen in Florida during migration. So...probably black-bellied after all - plumage is variable, bill size isn't.
