Is it some kind of Avian???

Its very well drawn and it looks cool... I think its going to be a big
challenge drawing it/him/you...

Or more like "What in the name of science is it ???" - still with the
puzzled look on her face...

Actually Martin, it's thought by some to be a "missing link" between
dinosaurs and birds.
The fossils were found in a lithographic stone quarry in your country,
Germany.
(I'm probably slaughtering the spelling) Solnhofen.
Here's two artist's renditions of what they might have looked like, based on
the fossils.
Hope it all helps you.
No hurry on the drawing.
I realize drawing all the feathers will be a pain.
Any artist who draws avians can attest to that. <G>
Later...
