Lets be clear.  It is mostly the crook along the body of the tail.  Look at 
page 343 in Mary Crane's cook at Ibos du Val d'Aure.  Not the best picture, 
but he likely has a crook. Page 376, Basquaerie Iris clearly has a nice one.  
Page 291 Roland de Soum has a very clear one.  The tail seems to flip over 
and/or to the side accenting the plumage of the tail.  The tip I had not 
thought much about, but when I do that is part of it as well.  I mostly look 
for the flip in the tail itself.
