Attested somewhat late, earliest in "Rhapsody on Gaotang [Shrine]" (高唐賦), attributed to Song Yu & included in Selections of Refined Literature:

• 王雎，鸝黃，正冥，楚鳩。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]

  ---

  王雎，鹂黄，正冥，楚鸠。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]

  From: 3rd century BCE, 宋玉 Song Yu, 《高唐賦》 ("Rhapsody on Gaotang [Shrine]"); translation based on Arthur Waley's version.

  Wángjū, líhuáng, zhèngmíng, chǔjiū. [Pinyin]

  the royal-coot, the yellow witwall / oriole, herald-of-dusk; warbler / dove of Chu,

Etymology

Guo Pu (郭璞) glosses 鸝 as meaning " yellowish black"; and also proposes that the black-naped orioles are named 鸝黃／鹂黄 (líhuáng) after "their yellow and sallow black colorings"; Li Shan (李善) apparently relates the birds' color 鸝／鹂 to the horses' coat-color 驪／骊 (lí, “pure black”) by treating each graph as the other's variant.
