    Near the edge of a stand of hemlock where almost nothing else but moss grows. Lincoln, Massachusetts.

    Answer

    jfc, sorry, I can't recognize that seedling without more images. These tiny plants, which are often common species (and even trees at maturity) are hard to identify without being at the site where intermediate forms can be found that help identify seedling, young, and mature plants of the same species.
