Cygnus (like a cross) or Lyra (much smaller).

I looked those up and they are not what I am seeing. It is relatively small, figuratively speaking, with a kite-like configuration with a tail of stars. Can only be seen from Louisiana in Nov. Dec. and January, basically. Appears on the eastern horizon, travels westward over the months, rising higher each month. I don’t know if it is a part of a larger constellation. Orion and the Big and Little Dippers are the only constellations that live up to their names, for me.
