Sorry to disapoint you, but it is an exterior wall, however, it is "cantilevered" out over the first floor. As far as I know, there is no special name for it.

That is the ovehang of the second floor as seen on a colonial style house. It is left over from the old days when you might have to stand up there during the French and Indian Wars and shoot down at Indians who had rushed the house.
That is its actual origin so no offense to Native Americans who were not present at that time.
