I believe your right. Spotted this in my backyard. I will try to take more pics tomorrow for a more clear identification. Thanks so much :)
Possibly a Littleleaf Buttercup, Ranunculus abortivus. https://plants.usda.gov/core/profile?symbol=RAAB https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranunculus_abortivus http://uswildflowers.com/detail.php?SName=Ranunculus%20abortivus See what you think. Without more images of the rest of the plant, I don't feel comfortable with the ID 100%.
