Best Answer

Because pterosaurs are not feathered, while caudipteryx's very name means, tail-feather. Microraptor, unlike any known animal in the world, had four feathered wings. Additionally, there are more skeletal similarities between microraptor and caudipteryx, with them both being theropods while pterosaurs were an entirely different group of animals.
