:/ I know. I already tried that but it didn't seem to work and i thought that name would be the person who just takes the pic.

It actually says Sasade Shinji.

According to this page, his "pegasus" model is actually the traditional crane with four legs, which is what's in your photo.

You can find the model in Origami Tanteidan Convention No. 8, page 132.

(Also, this probably should have been posted in the Origami Model Search section... but don't make a new one there now)

Ill make note of the placement of topics next time and thanks.

im still not getting how to place the arms and legs from the Pegasus you mentioned from the 8th convention book compared to the picture i posted. :/ from the one i had up the legs were directly under the arms and the tail part is not even touched but on the pegasus, it is. Im kinda confused here.

After making a pegasus, the photo does look right with regard to the placement of the limbs.
It looks like the legs and arms are just positioned differently, and the tail can be folded to make it look like that.

However, the legs seem to be much longer, and I assume that the arms are, too, so perhaps it's a slightly modified version. I can't imagine the entire model being completely different, so it's likely to be a modification, or just different shaping done by Sasade Shinji.
It's also possible that the diagrams are for a simplified version, which sometimes happens.

Of course, it could actually be a completely different version, in which case, I think the pegasus is the closest you're going to get.

If you haven't done so, I would recommend folding the pegasus with a large sheet of paper, and then playing around with it, to try to match the shaping in the photo.
But, as I said, the legs seem much longer in the photo, and I'm not sure how to do that, while keeping the rest of the model the same.

In case anyone is interested, Noboru Miyajima has diagrams for a four legged crane, available at his diagrams page http://www.h5.dion.ne.jp/~origami/e/diagram.html

It seems to be a different version
I have found this
http://gigazine.jp/img/2010/01/12/origami/origami.jpg
although I suppose it is just a variation of the original theme of four legged cranes so maybe if you play around with the dimensions a little bit after folding the original one in the tanteidan book you could get something better.
