Thank you very much ConorSheaWing and Riften. I checked both and it is hard to tell. I think my spot was closer to this one and it says "Eastern Comma." http://www.discoverlife.org/mp/20p?see=I_JWP297&res=640

I believe it to be a variant of the Eastern Comma. You can search more images of it on Google Images to see the similarities. Nice find!
