Hi Andy,

I just looked at the picture you posted and have concluded that this is a
different bird than the one we had found a couple of days earlier near
Marrietta in Lac qui Parle County, almost due south of your bird.  Our bird
had a darker chest and perhaps a more vibrant salmon colored belly.
Interestingly, while this range in plumage is not indicated in either the
Sibley or National Geographic field guides that I have, it reminds me of
the pair that nested in northwestern Yellow Medicine County a few years
ago.

 Today around 2:20 this afternoon I found an adult Say's Phoebe in downtown
 Ortonville. The bird was found in the backyard of 877 Main (MN Hwy 7), this
 is at the intersection of Hackberry Hill Rd and Main. It's a small gray
 house just adjacent to the grain elevators and railroad tracks. I got some
 great pictures of it that I will hope to post tonight.
