Were all dinosaurs feathered?

While not all dinosaurs had feathers, many predatory species, especially those closely related to birds, did. Invictibellatrix amberina being a feathered predator fits with growing evidence that feathers were widespread among theropod dinosaurs. These feathers likely served various purposes, from insulation to display, not just flight.
