This article, moved to mainspace on 6 Feb, is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, and presentable. No apparent copyvio. Both hooks in body and sourced, with offline sources accepted in good faith. I prefer ALT1, though "unwinged" should be replaced with the more idiomatic "wingless". Image legible at low resolution, and public domain. QPQ done. Good to go.
