AFA bone ornamentation goes, yes.  Their skull bones tend to be
relateively non-bumpy.  But living coelurosaurs seem to go freaky in the
head region, nonetheless.

Yep, I meant bone ornamentation. I would add that at least one non-avian maniraptoran appears to exhibit elongated feathers on the head. 

If I may ask, which one is that?
