There are also the little lesser herukas that are offeten painted onto the older thankas from the late 18th century. The ones I'm thinking of are shown as brown or sepia brown little dancing protectors. Hair standing up and on fire.
If you mean the 'Very Secret' then yes it has heruka appearance. In some Eight Pronouncement systems the Hayagriva sometimes has the identical appearance as the 'Very Secret' which also has the same appearance as the Padma Ishvara for.
Heruka in Nyingma is a general classification of male wrathful deities, not to be confused with the technical term of family or Buddha Families, or other structured classifications.

There are some old thankas in the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto that Morton Shulman donated back in the late seventies that have these images on.

'Little odd'. Angels have wings, as does Egyptian/Roman goddess Isis.
