They aren't tail feathers.

"The peacock 'tail', known as a 'train', consists not of tail quill feathers, but highly elongated upper tail coverts. "

examples: [1] [2]

I understand that, as depicted on anthros (and incorrectly drawn ferals), they will typically be seen as tail feathers. However, for accuracy's sake, tail_feathers must be tagged case-by-case.

Thank you, it seems fair enough:)

So, uh, does the anatomically accurate peacock feather count as Dorsal, then?
