It's either to show caution or submission. In your case it sounds like submission.

as mystery wolf said, sometimes it's also if she is listening to you. If I call my basset, her ears go back because she is listening.

It either means it's happy it's getting attention or it's listening to you.

Lowering the head, and laying back the ears is a submissive posture...That means she sees you as leader...good job!
