German term or phrase: Bildbalken
This is the bar or stripe used to superimpose a caption or lettering over an image. It may be solid but is often transparent to some degree, revealing the image beneath. Any idea what the proper team in English is?

Explanation:
An image banner would be the same as a Bildbalken in the sense of a "Balken mit Bildern", although this doesn't quite tally with your definition, which sounds more like a text layer (e.g. in Photoshop).
