Mystery Pterosaur-Help!

So I've got a little extra credit assignment for science class. We were learning about bones, and something fun we did was put together some paper cut outs of a pterosaur skeleton! I was very happy! My teacher knew I loved prehistoric animals, so she sent me on a quest to find the name of that specific pterosaur. I usually would have got it right away, but this particular pterosaur was bizarre; it had a head like a Scaphognathus, and a short, almost nonexistent tail. I need help! I haven't been able to find anything like this? Do you guys know what this could possibly be?

Is this it? It's a Scaphognathus but the tail is not included (as it was not preserved in the original fossil, this seems to be based on the original drawings of the fossil.)

In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Oh yes! That is the exact picture the cut outs were cut from! Thanks!
