Tempered Sylphs in Gridania?

I was over at an Aetheryte in Old Gridania and came across this tempered sylph. It looks like it could be a minion, but I can't be sure if it is because there was no one else around. Can some verify if this is a minion?

It's a minion, the Wind-Up Violet, the one you get for rank 8ing all of the Beast tribe quests.

Side note this happens via a quest you get after maxing the 5 beast tribes.

If a player with a minion (or Chocobo) teleports to an Aetheryte and they have a long load time, their minion tends to appear long before them. I frequently see minions and Chocobos hanging around the crystals waiting for their masters to appear. Looks like it could be a similar situation with this Slyph.

Also if you are on a roof or high up place, your minions can often be on the ground level.
