Yes, it looks like butterfly wing to me. What does the back look like? Are there any hallmarks or other marks? Thomas L Mott made a lot of these, usually in sterling silver. This one looks like it's in amazing condition, often they're faded and scratched.
England sterling. Patent 202213 are the only ones I see. Do you know when these were made?
Very nice!
The bird can be the Australian Kookaburra, or a more generic Kingfisher :-)
Agree with all Pebble said !
You may google English patent with the number...
