redhead
Auburn-haired person
A redhead is a person with red or reddish hair.
The term applies regardless of shade—from bright copper to deep auburn.
Redheads make up a small percentage of the population, which has contributed to various stereotypes about temperament: Redheads are supposed to have fiery tempers.
The word can also describe animals with red coloring, particularly certain bird species.
