What is this bird?

I've never seen one of these before. Saw him when I pulled in and had to snap off a shot. I have no clue what kind of bird it is, but he sure is fun to watch when he walks.

some cropping, sharpening, and auto-levelling to improve clarity

Edit: Apparently, it is an "American Woodcock." Thanks to redditor "OsoGato" for clarifying!
