Hard to tell from the photo. Is that the fifth fret marker above your pinky? if so, looks like an A minor triad along the 3 high strings.

The first chord that you play is just a D5 chord. And then A5, and so forth. Just chords without the third degree, which normally determines whether it's major or minor. In this case, it's neither.

These are exactly like straight power chords (first and fifth degree).

As joe say it's they can all be viewed as /5 chords, final 3 inversions with an open d on top or as below
1.D5,
2.dus4 (7th fret)
3.dmin7 (no fifth) 5th fret
4. D6/9 (d, b, e, b) 4th fret

Sounds nice because there's no definitive key center thanks to missing 3rds [f#](chords 1,2,3)
The opening two chords imply major tonality, the third chord implies a key change (f natural) essentially minorising the tonality temporarily
