You can argue that you don't need the ability to specifically say "magical", as any any flight ability that is classed as (Sp), (Ps) or (Su) is magical by default.
Generally speaking if a creature has wings it does not have magical flight.

The problem is that most creatures that fly do not state what kind of ability their flight is. The Bestiary just says that flight is either Extraordinary or Supernatural, but doesn't specify which creature has which one.

I had never noticed this, now I see the problem. It seems like the Bestiary assumes that something being (Ex) or (Su) will be either clarified in the creature's entry or is otherwise defined in the Glossary. That's definitely a problem. How has nobody noticed this oversight before?
Wings = Ex.
No wings = Su.
Wings = Ex.
No wings = Su.
Pretty much that.
Some things have wings that seem clearly too small to do the job, or are too large for any wings to really work. I tend to assume they are also (Su). But that doesn't clear things up at all....

The artists are not aerospace engineers. Not everything will be anatomically viable.
Just assume physical wings = extraordinary, though as mentioned above gaseous creatures (air elemental, etc) would have extraordinary flight because they move through air like we move over land.
