Is confuciusornis not different to modern bird?

That's not a source. A source is a scientific paper from a peer-reviewed journal. There is nothing in your URL that indicates that's what you are referring us to.

With that sort of address, a cautious internet user would NEVER link to it in case it's a virus site.

How many papers have you looked at on this fossil, and how many claim it's "not different" from a modern bird?

Here is a photograph of a pair of confuciusornis, if you look very carefully you can see (even in this poor product shot from a chinese fossil sales catalog) that there are clearly clawed talons on the wings as well as on the legs.

This second photo (the one below, from wikipedia) is better, and the hook-like claws on the leading edge of the wings are really obvious. You can believe whatever you want, but I think I would conclude that the "book" you have listed above is creationist/religious propaganda.

I recommend that people should trust the evidence of their own eyes, rather than the false claims in some book written by a guy (who is apparently trying to sell you a religion, but clearly fails at science.)

Anyone can write a book but if you examine the evidence for yourself, the physical evidence, not just what some guy writes in a book, I think you will conclude that these are a very good example of one of those "transitional" species that creationists like him, frequently try to claim "don't exist".

I looking from this source:

it said that confuciusornis identical to that of present-day birds, not different to modern birds
