Caudipteryx belonged to the Saurischia ("lizard hipped"). But remember: so do birds. Birds have their pubes pointing backwards, just like the Ornithischia ("bird hipped") but they weren't onithischians themselves. So you can be a saurischian whatever the position of your pubes. As it happened Caudipteryx had forward pointing pubes, as typical for Saurischia - but it is not a decisive feature.
