It seems incongruous, since everything else looks to be fairly natural in coloration. I'm guessing that it's supposed to tie in with the eye and collar colors. Just puzzling is all. A bigger critique point would be that her more distant wing looks like it's bent backwards. Other than that, the lighting and color scheme on the whole are pleasant and the composition evokes a quiet tension.
Thank you for your thoughtful critique! As has been said, it is the character's colors. There is a bit of blue in the ears as well. As for the wing...it did give me some trouble and delayed me getting this done...so just did it to the best of my abilities and left it as is. :> I am glad I captured the mood I was striving for.
I did see the bit of blue in the ear, but thought it was just shadow tones. Since, as has been pointed out, it's due to the character's blood color, it might help suggest that if there were a subtle bluish undertone in areas where the fur would be thinner, such as the belly, wing membranes, and so forth, and perhaps tone down the blue of the bare skin so it's not quite as drastic a contrast. Of course, if that is how the customer wanted it to look, this is all moot.
As for the wings, it's a tricky angle. It might help to do a quick overhead scribble ahead of time to work out how things would be visible to the viewer.
Hope this has been helpful. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

This has a wonderful presence about it - one of waiting for something else to move in the forest - a twig to snap.
I really enjoy the depth of the environment in this piece and that that the character feels like they belong in the environment. A great mid-Autumn display.
