Best way to impersonate a strix (long term)

[pad300]

Ok, I need a mechanic for a person to impersonate a strix for long period (days to weeks). A greater hat of disguise gives you alter self, which doesn't cut it, because of the the Strix's natural fly speed.
Monstrous Physique spells won't cut it because of the duration...
How can you do this?

Is this person a high level spellcaster? If so, combining the greater hat of disguise with an Overland Flight spell should do the trick.

[LordKailas]

a hat of disguise combined with wings of flying would work.

[pad300]

Scout type, not a high level caster (ranger), thus the hat...

Also, would that work? I would wonder if you could observe the difference between magical flight (Overland Flight spell) and wing-flapping flight?

I think it depends on how well you flap.

That's exactly what the disguise bonus of polymorph spells is for, I'd reckon.
