Oviraptor finger fossil?

Hi

 

Is the id on this as been fossilised Oviraptor finger/digits accurate? Ignore the text "claw" its mistranslation from the collector--supplier clarified it as been finger bones.

 

It is 6cm long. Ganzhou, Nanxiong Formation.

 

Unfortunately, seller is away for a few days, so I may struggle to get more info. This photo was in the recent batcg he sent.

 

I know it may be difficult to get an id with this. It seems small at 6 cm for Ovi too, im wondering if juvie, or a smaller species.

I'm not sure how anyone can say much about this specimen with the amount of matrix covering the bone.  Looks more like a foot digit than finger.  Tell the sellers to have it prepped then come back with more photos.
