It would certainly be one of the 'Theropods' . . . and most likely, according to current thinking, our birds are actually Theropods, themselves: Both birds, and the Theropad dinosaurs had wishbones, hollow bones (good if you fly), and a colored covering of what we now call, 'Feathers'.

If the above turns out to be true, and it looks now like it will be, then birds could be considered as modern-day dinosaurs . . . at least their direct descendants.
