Dust devils, most likely.

An animated gif showing 'a dust devil scooting across a plain inside Gusev Crater on Mars as seen from the NASA rover Spirit's hillside vantage point during the rover's 459th martian day, or sol (April 18, 2005)' is available here: http://www1.nasa.gov/images/content/113334main_1114050279_5705-2_dd_enhanced_459-A462R1.gif.
