Flycatcher, Minnesota, USA
I saw these birds in Minnesota around August. I posted 4 and 5 a while ago but people weren't sure but suspected least flycatcher. I wonder if 1, 2, and 3 are the same kind of bird?

These small flycatchers can be rather difficult to ID, but Least Flycatcher might be a pretty good guess!

And the second bird looks more like a Vireo, perhaps Philadelphia?

They're all flycatchers - no vireos.
As Larry said, this genus is difficult to identify to species, especially from photos. That said, Least Flycatcher seems reasonable. But you probably wouldn't want to actually assign an identification based on these photos. |

The bird in bost85's second post does indeed look like a Philadelphia Vireo.
