Actually, unless you changed the name, that would probably be black (The use of meat and carrion is a black thing) BUT it feels 100% green.
That's actually just a playtest name. Think Snorlax.

Briarhorn is a 3/3 for 4 with flash that gives any creature +3/+3.
So I don't think you have any power level problems.
Something I might do vaguely along those lines is a creature with deathtouch that gets a toughness boost etb. Probably a big one, like +0/+10 so it's essentially invincible for a turn.
Flavor it as a snake or similar striking from cover.
Yeah, Winged Coatl came to mind when I was making this. I wanted to take the concept of Briarhorn and limit the buff to itself, and see what kind of cost drops/size increases I could do and still make it fair. But if a 6/6 for 4 is fair, then a 3/3 for 3 is a little underwhelming.
So what I'm thinking now is:
CMC: 3
Buff: +4/+4
Body: 3/3
A vanilla 3/3 for 3 is pretty on-curve for green, so it'd still be useful as an attacker assuming it survives the initial blocking.
The final design may just have deathtouch or a gigantic toughness pump like you said, but for now this is just sort of playing around with numbers.
