Doesn't quite fit the description of an Olive-sided Flycatcher. The dark vest is absent and the head shape doesn't look quite right. OSFL has more of a pointed head and a larger beak. This look more like an Empidonax sp. I'm not sure what species of Empids you get in Minnesota, but it could be a Yellow-bellied or Least Flycatcher.
Such a pretty little bird, no words are necessary. How lucky you were to capture this photo! ~karen

This and That. Here and There. Now, Sometimes Then.
except for the shape of his head he reminds me a bit of the phoebes we get here. I enjoy watching them with the flitery of their tails.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo of an often unnoticed bird!
