Lime-green yellowish birds in our Dogwood Tree in W. North Carolina

We have several hundred year old dogwoods in our yard that I love to watch the birds feed from in late September to October. This year we have a pair I have never seen before. They have lime-green yellowish heads and underbelly, with a bluish-brown wings that have a yellowish-white stripe across. They have beaks like a cardinal with prominent round black eyes.
