Okay, putting this out to those much more knowledgeable and can interpret such an image! It looks like feathers and feet of a bird. But also seems to look a bit like Ring Tailed Possum but with a Black Snake head. This is the plain shot. No AI funny stuff. I’m stumped…

Funny that Carby went for Grey Currawong. Is it a male Superb Fairy-wren from behind?
