Every time I have found a piece with that mark the sterling mark has been false. There are multiple designs that are routinely falsely marked to fool tourists and this is one of them. :( The bird head seems to be a Mexican origin mark that isn't used on silver, the bird for silver is a full body eagle. There are a few different bird head marks I've seen used on non-silver items, sometimes with a false sterling/925 mark, other times as the only mark.
