Morphology

redheader = redhead (semi-transparent) = red + head + er

The word is built from the already recognizable compound 'redhead' plus '-er', but the resulting form is a nonstandard and only mildly predictable extension.

Etymology

Redheader is made from red and head, like the familiar word redhead, and it adds the ending -er as in teacher to make a word for a person. So a redheader simply means 'a person who has red hair'.
