Woah...that's weird. I apologize if it seems obvious but don't release it if you don't want it since it wouldn't last the winters.
The first pic is when I first saw him and the second picture is the same one just zoomed up

Also, beardies love super worms. Variety is key but the worms last longer than the crickets and can be fed to the lizard in a bowl so they aren't running around all the time.
There is plenty of good care sheets if you are wanting to keep him. Here is a good one:

He looks like a juvenile, in which case he's going to eat a lot more live feeders than an adult would. Crickets, roaches, or phoenix worms are best as staples. Superworms shouldn't be fed until a beardie reaches total length of at least 15 inches, otherwise impaction is a big risk. Also, be sure to provide UVB and the proper heat gradient (100-110 degree basking temp, 70-85 on the cool side).
I love beardies!

Looks like an eastern beardie too. One of the rarer ones in the us. Good find
