And no, you're not the only one who wants to call it Scurrymimus. The name just feels so apt!
I honestly have no idea about an adult, for a few reasons... first of all, it's still some matter of contention whether the Sciurumimus holotype really is a baby megalosauriod or something else. Secondly, we have such little information about the type and extent of feathering in adult megalosauriods that it's really difficult to say anything with conviction, from both the perspective of phylogenetic bracketing and from hard fossil evidence. I would personally reconstruct an adult Sciurumimus with a light coating of type 1 feather-like filaments over most of its body, but without any defined remiges or retrices.
