Greetings again

 

Thisis a second vertebra also found at the Lee Creek Mine (aka Aurora) in Yorktown spoils.  It is 50mm in length, rather porous and very light.  I was thinking bird, but thought I'd get some other opinions.  Any ID suggestions?

 

The photos in order are: "bottom", "top", "side", end 1 and end 2
