My first thought was Blue Jay, but the beak is wrong and the black & white markings aren't on the wings. I tried using the search engine andthe closest I could come up with was Cerulean Warbler but I'm not convinced. Would anyone like to help determine what this little guy is? His front half is still down, I've attached his "stretching" picture to help with identifying him.....

In Michigan that has to be an Eastern Bluebird :)

Thanks for the help....I discounted bluebird because I was expecting SOME color on the breast ...I guess I wasn't patient enough for this little guy to lose his down.

Delightful pic! I was seeing a lot of these guys here last month. This one appears to be a potoo wannabe:
