What do you think it is. It had me stumped. Yellow on the tail, buff breast.

I believe you have a juvenile finch. Juvenile birds are common late summer. What are your local finches in MN and one of those is likely what you have. Sorry can't pin the ID any further. Nice picture of a very cute bird. Tony

You are right. I sent this to a expert on birds. He confirmed it was a young common yellowthroat.

Thank you for steering me the correct way. I should have checked further, my Sibley guide doesn't have many western birds.
