It was in the Gamespot review, most likely a review or debug copy. It certainly looks legit.

It’s totally look like the prototype of the characters ! 
I love the head of this bird ! He look like the bird where I live
Kinda surprised that he/she can even wear closed shoes. I expected Talons to be a hassle to keep trapped in something as flimsy as a shoe. Or if its as sturdy as a boot, then its probably not that comfortable for an avian.
Considering how Toby pretty much rejected and suggested to stay out of the field to go stay in the medbay, UPR might end up going 0-support because all the support type are in the medbay instead of battling.
They probably have Combat medics.
I prefer grenadiers. Figures there won’t be one in game for months. 
Am I the only one who thinks the new character looks a bit like a member of Toby’s race? Maybe even family?
Toby can put his feet in shoes, not all birds need big talons
Alani is a combat medics
Toby doesn’t have the biggest talons yeah, definitely not as exaggerated as Benedict’s, that’s for sure. They’re still present through and end in points, which unfortunately does not sit well with shoes. But this is also ignoring the structure of his own feet, the digits on them are rather broad and a bit spaced. As stated before, I imagine shoes wouldn’t be comfortable for someone like him. At least the shoes we’re all familiar with, he’d require a more custom style fit.
That’s all just speculation though and my desire of wanting to make sense of characters on their designs and choice or lack of clothing.

I believe UPR is supposed to not have support, that’s why their gear is anti healing if I recall. Just like eldrid will never have recharging shields (kelvin is different) I think jennerit will never have full on tanks (attikus is more of a brawler than a tank, like kelvin, S&A and el dragon.) LLC doesn’t use the (pushers) speeDPS (again, el dragon is a brawler, and not a low health supersonic runner, where as marquis is fast, but still not a pusher/pusher-esque character) And Rogues do not have health based characters, rather instead all about shields. (well, whiskey and orendi aren’t /about/ shields but they have them, but toby’s got a shield, reyna is the shield mother and S&A is supershielded, and their gear is anti health. Or was, guess people didn’t like health draining gear., said it was “unsafe” (hah, that was the prefix for rogue broken gear or whatever the negative gear is called))
I might be wrong about LLC or a few, but still, the point is they all have their weaknesses and that’s why they all help eachother, and so a healing character for UPR would probably not happen. That said, it could, and Either way is a good Idea, however we have already gotten a new healer, and are getting a new assassin, I’d say they’re a brawler esque grenadier hen.
Personally, I’d welcome a grenade launcher-toting combat medic. Especially if it’s a chicken.
Seems like whoever this character is, they’ll have the advantage of being small in stature.

Those small characters are so hard to hit
True but most the time their are squishy. She/he/it might be tankish like Boulder though.
ahoy.
So i found this not sure if its credible, but i think she was connected to benedict. I’d have to double check. Not connected to benedict from what he said but still worth the hype!
Ernest is its? name supposedly 
https://www.trueachievements.com/n24576/pendles-arrives-soon-for-battleborn-but-will-ernest-be-next.htm
Ernest is a male name
perhaps it is now that i look again. i saw pink and it just looked some what feminine to me. 
Assuming we had 2 male birds i figured the third would be a girl too.
Part of me also wanted something of bendicits lore to come back, but i can say if its name is Ernest it has nothing to do from benedicts lore from what he mentioned. 
out of all the dlc characters (minus future nova? 
) this one looks like itll be my favorite boy or girl anyway.
