The basal enantiornithe Iberomeronis resting on the spike of a Polacanthus.

I think this is the first time I depict an avian dinosaur in detail and it has been a real challenge; I had to use at least half a dozen of extant bird pics as a reference to achieve something as simple as the wings folding position. It has been fun though, so more extinct aves are probably coming up soon.

Awesome! I like how the tail is reminiscent of euornithean fan-tails while retaining it's proper shaggy-stub character :)

Thanks you! :) accuracy aside, I think also looks more natural and believable as an animal than the first version.

I remember reading that somewhere, but how should the tail look like then?

In many cases it would just be a little stub (e.g.: Matt's restoration of Boluochia). Some species had one or more pairs of ribbon tail feathers like Confuciusornis.
