Looks pretty good! Put the remaining three ranks in Hide, I think. And make the last feat Flyby Attack, if we think gliding lets it qualify.

I'd prefer 1 rank in Hide and 2 in Move Silently.

Flyby Attack doesn't suit me very well. They seem more the "leap and let rip" than the "dash, slash & flee" type. I would prefer Weapon Focus (claw) or Power Attack, probably the latter.

Oh, and its bite should be +8 melee due to its Multiattack, not +5 melee.

Challenge Rating 4 and +3 LA?

The Scathe's Advancement is only 5-8 HD, so I was thinking more 8-12 HD (Medium) for the Harrier.

The MC11 entry says Harrier's are 4 feet long, not tall. That's a bit odd for a humanoid creature. Maybe they spend most of their time bent over, but would be taller if they were to stand fully erect?

Anyhow, how about giving them the same weight as their cousins the Scathe: 120 pounds.

Updated.

Updated.

The Claws should be 1d4+3 and the Rakes 1d4+1, due to their Strength 17.

Oh, and if they're arboreal they ought to be able to Climb trees!

Give them a 10 ft. Climb speed with Climb +11 in skills and the standard racial bonuses?

Indeed! Updated.

 

[freyar]

Agreed to all that! Are they done?

 

[Shade]

Probably, pending Cleon's fine-toothed comb.
