Ice Arceus said:Look at Staraptor and then look at the silhouette. The head area is completely different.

Makes sense. After all, the sprite looks like the animation from Gen 2's Sky Attack.SuperMatt142 said:It's Missingno.

Owensar said:Those wings under the wings are the wings of the sprite. They are a 100% perfect fit. The pose is the same.
It is also fairly common practise to over-blackout images to remove the perfect outline.
The feet are obviously tucked up as shown as in the sprite (pulled close to the body talons open like an eagle) with articuno facing slightly down towards the camera. As shown below, from the front this eagles claws will seem chunky and the legs will not be visible, just like our elusive pokemon.
On articuno's head are 3 triangular pieces. the 2 side pieces are visible half way up the long black bit. You can clearly see them on the original image. The tail does look strange but have you seen the Crystal sprite? Now imagine that on a 3D model.

Articuno. I ran a footprint check of every bird Pokémon and there are no matches unless the Pokémon is flying away from you, instead of towards you. Also,when someone shown me that earlier image outlining their belief that it's Articuno...then Articuno's footprint fit perfectly when flying away, then the promise of rare Pokémon in the app.
