Will appreciate any comments!

This is one of my collection (in China).

Answer 1

I think the phalanges are a bit short to be part of a wing.  Unless the image is off, the hind and foreleg are similar in length indicating quadrupedalism. That is as close as I can come so far, that very delicate looking skull and short neck is throwing me off.

Nothing yet?  I'm so curious.  These folks may be able to help you:

Answer 2

Pterodactyl?

Answer 3

I am not an expert, but it seems to fit between birds and velociraptors.  Kind of looks like a primitive tyrannosaur.

Answer 4

Well, it definitely flies.

In spite of the thumbs down, I still think it flies.

No way it is related to a T-rex.
