This is not the first time I’ve seen this picture, look at its hind legs, they’re completely deformed and bent backwards, this is a conjoined twin type of thing.
It's difficult to see how that could result from partial fission of the embryonic axis. Shouldn't it have two sets of wings, and maybe an extra head if that was the case? Conjoined twins are linked by the same body part aren't they? Although I've only looked at it in mammals, the earlier stages of embryonic development are extremely strongly conserved, so I doubt it's much different.
