That's a migrating American woodcock that likely hit a window and is concussed. If you are able, tuck the little guy in a paper grocery bag, and do nothing except leave the bag undisturbed in a quiet place overnight. In the morning, drop him off at the Wild Bird Fund at 565 Columbus Ave.

Unfortunately, birds that strike windows tend to fly off and then later die from inflammation. Rehabillitators can administer anti-inflammatory medication to stave off worst of the swelling and give it a fighting chance.
