Yellow backed bird

Opened the front door just now and startled a bird on the lawn
opposite.
Flew AWAY from me and I could only see its back. Blackbird size, dark
wings, but a very vivid yellow back.
Looked in the bird book and the nearest I could see was the Golden
Oriole but reading its habit I don't see how it could be.
South East Coast Isle of Wight
Any suggestions?
Grey Wagtail?
