Eosinopteryx, a Jurassic troodontid

Or that's what they think it is. It is a feathered dinosaur but had less extensive feathering than other dinosaurs, with short fuzz in the tail and legs which allowed it to run fast (it also didn´t have the "killing claw" of later troodontids, apparently). http://www.nature.com/ncomms/journal/v4/n1/full/ncomms2389.html
