Re: The Goth Bird Re: 3-D rendering of Anchiornis colors



Oops, forgot to send this to the whole list:

The colors have been mentioned as being similar to modern woodpeckers,
so maybe there's an analogue there. In woodpeckers, by the way, the
red crest is typically present most prominently in males and is either
absent or reduced in females. With this in mind, scanning the other
two Anchiornis specimens (the holotype and the one revealed at SVP)
might be interesting to see if there are differences in crest
coloration.
