Worked solution

Answer: Bat.
The idea
Flight is the decoy property here. The real classification is biological, and the bat is the only mammal.
Shortcut. Three have feathers and lay eggs; the bat has fur and gives birth to live young — the only mammal.
Common trap. "Eagle" — the only bird of prey, which makes it stand out; but bird versus mammal is the sharper split.
