Well, the OP has figured it out, but just a comment for other users downloading images from an internet search. A possible scenario.
Many of the free-transparent-png sites are not that free. To get a good version, you need to register (or worse) and that info gets sold on (much the same as social media)
...so the user resorts to a right click and download this image which delivers a rendered image. Might look like this, it was downloaded purporting to be transparent.
Apart from not showing anything under the image, things to look for.
The layer name for a non-transparent layer is bold
A real giveaway is when you can add an alpha channel to the layer.
This is what you should see:
The layer name in normal type
Add an alpha channel greyed out.
...of course they might be sneeky and make the rendered image with an alpha channel and a solid checkered background but not often
