Burning tokens - apparently not the owner

Hi, question about burning NFT (openzeppeling):

import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC721/extensions/ERC721Burnable.sol";
...
    function burn(uint256 tokenId) public virtual override {
        console.log(ownerOf(tokenId)); //using hardhat console log for debugging in .sol files
        super.burn(tokenId);
    }

then during tests

    const owner = await contr.ownerOf(testTokenId)
    console.log("owner ", owner, "account3 ", account3.address)
    await contr.connect(account3).burn(testTokenId)

So I can see the owner and account3 are the same however when I call the burn function as in the test, I get the error

     Error: VM Exception while processing transaction: reverted with reason string 'Ownable: caller is not the owner'
      at Contr.getApproved (@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC721/ERC721.sol:127)

How come the token owner cannot burn their own token?

If you look closely at the error message, you might notice that it's an Ownable : ... error, not an ERC721: ... or ERC721Burnable: ....

That error message comes from the onlyOwner modifier.
