neognathid predators - take 2

This is the new face of a few of the Colibrian predators. the upper two are essentially different takes on the same thing, the lower one is one that returned to the sea. I'd like to highlight that some marine neognathids put the tentacles to a great use, extending them into grasping appandages, while some retain them in the form of vestiges, relying solely on their beaks.
Also notice the inhalation pore (spiracle) migrated from under the neck all the way to the top of the head.

The picture at the bottom is not the final design for a "cetacean".
