Simplified strict consensus tree of 1264 most parsimonious trees with a length of 1323, resulting from analyses with an addition of FPDM-V-9769 to a matrix on fossil birds16. Numbers near each node denote bremer support values. Note that Fukuipteryx prima represents the only Early Cretaceous non-ornithothoracine avialan collected outside of the Jehol Group. Silhouette drawings for Mesozoic birds were created by M.W. Life restoration of F. prima was created by M. Yoshida
