This is a regular one and has cross lines on wingtips and outside tailfeathers
Yes, this is the regular design. Perfectly normal.
As Rogers told me he wanted to make the tail feathers appear white, as they are in real life on an adult bald eagle, so he got rid of the detailing there. He wasn't trying to make the wings appear white, since they are not in real life, though why he softened the detailing there I do not know.
