Wendy, in your 3rd try, the bird and all look much the same as your second try, which you see as "black" I do see that the skin tone on the carver is subtly different on #3, but don't see a major difference between the 2nd and 3rd try.
I'm using IE, Windows XP (SP3) on a Compaq nc6120 laptop.
Hmmmmm This is interesting.
