I agree that "OAuth" is taken as a scheme name.
I like "Bearer" for the Authorization header scheme holding an access token.

We should use a different name for the WWW-Authentication scheme that announces 
that user delegation or credential-swapping can be used to get credentials to 
access this service. "OAuth2" would be a decent choice for this, "Delegate" 
might be even better.

--> GET ...
<-- 401
    WWW-Authenticate: Delegate realm=... user_uri=... token_uri=... features=...
<-> do the OAuth2 stuff
--> GET ...
    Authorization: Bearer a=...
