That Finned X-Wing is also an ER.

The puzzle can be solved in many steps using XY-Chains/Wings, a Skyscraper, another ER (Sashimi X-Wing) and some basic coloring. (I didn't keep notes, but don't think I left anything out.)

Or, there's a novel grouped coloring exploiting a UR. No time now. Maybe I'll post it later.
