This file is from a shared repository and may be used by other projects. The description on its file description page there is shown below.

This dinosaur restoration is inaccurate, or its accuracy is disputed.

Reason: The bird in the image has euornithine-style tail feathers. Enantiornithes either have spaced pairs of long ribbon-like feathers or no tail feathers at all, depending on the species. Folding fans of vaned feathers are unique to Euornithes. Liaoningornis was originally classified as a euornithine so it may simply have become outdated. The description also weirdly lists it as having a beak for some reason, but I don't think that was ever suggested. In fact the reference image is definitely not the sole described specimen of this bird, not sure what that thing is...[1]

You may ask further questions about the accuracy of this image at the image review page of WikiProject Dinosaurs on the English Wikipedia. Note that this image may be appropriate to illustrate obsolete paleontological views.
