Mystery Flower

IMG_9869b (Small).jpg

I'm not sure what this flower is. I found it growing wild in my neighbor's back yard. I'm thinking it's some sort of sunflower, possibly a bicolored variety called "The Joker" (Helianthus annuus) but I'm not certain of that. The petals are red near the center, and then change to yellow towards the end. The leaves of the flower are a long, elliptical, and smooth (not serrated). The head of the flower is about 4" across, and it's facing straight up (toward the sky). I'll try to get some better photos of it tomorrow.
