I think it was named the bald eagle because of the contrast in colors. The body is brown and the head is white, like you said, so when it is flying it looks bald because the head is lighter. I think that might be the reason

The name really comes from an english word! Called pie-bald which means white headed! More that hairless! Get it now?
