No no, it would definitely be some branch we haven't found yet. We know a tiny fraction of species that have ever lived, and many might have lived in conditions where no fossils are formed in the first place. Just recall that we have barely any fossils of our related great ape lineages.

Take that, but consider a lineage which hasn't evolved real wings, thus keeping the fingers free to work.
I'm not a paleontologist obviously, but I've heard several talk who have adapted the convention "birds are dinosaurs".
