Destructoid is reporting that the third Left 4 Dead 2 Special Infected is The Jockey.

The Jockey has the ability to control the movement of the Survivors by jumping on their back and tearing them apart - fascinating.

The Jockey is a smaller zombie who jumps on the backs of Survivors and tears them apart from behind. Not only that, but he gets to control the movements of the Survivor while he's doing it, meaning that Versus Mode just got a whole lot crazier. Sounds like a helpful little guy who'll help guide the Survivors into ambushes and other desirable locations.

How awesome is that? We'll get to see The Jockey tearing Survivors apart at PAX.

Update: We've just received a confirmation from Doug Lombardi.
