Description A Buiteraptor gonzalezorum is highly focused, as he's catching fish in a murky lake surrounded by plants that look like reed, but actually aren't reed. because that makes sense.

While using it's dark underside and wings to create a shadowy area for fish to flee too, making them easier to catch, he raises his beautifully feathered tail with iriscent blue feathers to show other Buiteraptor's that this is his fishing place.

Buiteraptor was a small dromaeosaurid (unenlagiine to be more precise) that was about the size of a cat being 1,5 m long and 3 kg heavy according to Greg Paul.
Some people call it a heron mimic dromaeosaur, but I prefer to call herons Buiteraptor mimics, because Buiteraptor was a heron before a heron was a heron.

I used Scott Hartman's skeletal reconstruction, I credit to him for that.
