At first I thought of Scarlet Tanagers (you didn't mention the
head or tail color) but after a second read I noticed the mention of
dark wings _and body_ (presumably the back).  Sounds like orchard
orioles.  The males are deep red underneath, black on wings, head and
back.  The females dark above and green-ish yellow below.  Hope 
this helps.
