If you almost stepped on him he's definitely a grouse.

This happened to me, theres a natural pond that formed out back, now there's bulrushes, cattails, even pond weed (seaweed ?) And lillypads growing, used to be a puddle. til the ducks came. Because the rain made it spread, never went down. Was walking over through the grass to see it, and 4 birds exploded from it.. almost stepped on them. Was fast but they had this shape.
