Cretaceous bird limb

Hello,

 

Thoughts on this? It intrigued me because I don't see Cretaceous bird fossils for sale often and would be a nice, unusual addition. The only bird I see listed as from Judith River is Hesperornis. But the only picture really I can find of Hesperornis limbs, the bones look much too fat and too thick.

 

It is listed as a bird limb bone, from Judith River Formation. Seller gave me quite specific location info in a message -- 20 miles South of the Canada border, on the edges of Milk River escarpment, Hill County, Montana. On a layer where Hadrosaurid fossils have been found by the seller.

 

Thanks for the help

Is the broken end hollow?

 

Seller messaged back. There is sand filling it, but he says it is hollow through the sand. He says the break is at the knuckle. He's sent a few photos of the broken end and one of the complete knuckle end.
