Han et al. 2014
had a tough time tracing the skull of the bird-mimic Changyuraptor (Fig. 1).

Figure 2. Changyuraptor to scale with Ornitholestes, Scriurumimus and Microraptor.

Changyuraptor yangi (Han et al. 2014; Early Cretaceous) nests here between Ornitholestes and Microraptor (Fig 2) and is midway in size.

Figure 3. This cladogram for Saurornithoides also recovers the nesting of Chanyuraptor between Microlestes and the microraptors.
