Psittacosaur.

Here is an unfinished pencil-on-illustration board sketch from 2009.
.
This dinosaur is the prototypical psittacosaurid, called Psittacosaurus mongoliensisP. mongoliensis is known from China, Mongolia, and Siberia. Fossils of P. mongoliensis are so abundant, nearly a full skeletal ontogeny is known for the species. At least one species of Psittacosaurus (and there are many) exibited a patch of long, moderately-flexible and hollow bristles along the dorsal surface of its tail.
