Analysis of the beast on f25v

It is similar, but most Welsh dragons have 4 legs, and are usually red, no? we appear to be dealing with one that has two legs and a tail-appendage making 3 limbs plus wings. That would make it a Wyvern,  Lindworm, or Vibria perhaps?

I especially like that last one with the tail that resembles the feet (although they all have some aspect of that), and the dragon mane Smile
