This block is one that looks like a more complicated version of the Shoo Fly block.
It is based on a 5x5 grid with units that use HST and quarter square triangles. It can also be made with large HST's in the middle that have the straight sides as long as two of the squares in the grid. This is the more common variation although it is harder to see the "grid".
The corner sections can also be made with four diamonds, two triangles and a square, although this can involve Y seams.
Incidentally the different versions of the names come from this blog post on the 90 Years Ago blog which looks at vintage quilts and quilt blocks.

This version from Poppy patchwork includes an extra stripe along the large triangle
Lisa Capen also made the block as part of a "live" video
Bloomerie Fabrics uses it as part of a Farmhouse Sampler and includes photos in their tutorial -Farmhouse Sampler - Block 4 (Goose Tracks)– Bloomerie Fabrics
Erin Underwood uses diamonds to make her block here -Flying Geese 9 BOM with geese border
This You Tube tutorial uses EPP
It is also worth mentioning that Accuquilt also make a goose track die that also constructs the block from diamonds.
Although it is a 5x5 block it can also be classed as an uneven nine patch since the corner units are constructed first and then it is finally constructed as a nine patch.
