Its a Large winged quadraped stats are as follows
+4str +2dex -2 con +9 int +6 wis
speed is 40 ground 60 flight perfect
has a natural bite of 1d6
special qualities are : darkvision 60ft,
Conceal motives su/atwill
empathy su/atwill
ubitiquous vision/permanent
+10 skill bonus to autohypnosis checks


So a psionic flying sphinx thing. Thanks for any help in advance.

LA is a bad mechanic. Racial hit dice are much better. Usually ability scores boosts are even; +9 is really odd. As to the question at hand, maybe 5 (ECL 6)? Determining LA (ECL) is always something of an inexact science, but I would break it down as something like one for Large size, two for the flight, and maybe two for everything else/the combination of it all, but mainly the ability scores.

Using racial hit die, this would have:


No LA
Five racial hit die (magical beast - d10)
Skill points equal to (2 + Int modifier, minimum 1) per hit die, with quadruple skill points for the first hit die.
Base saves of Fortitude +4, Reflex +4, Will +1.
BAB +5.
Probably some natural weapons? A bite and two claws, perhaps? This wouldn't be a result of racial hit, just thinking out loud.
Two feats (I think).

It is very, very rare to have a race with hit dice above 1 but no LA. In fact, I'm pretty sure WoTC has never done that.

At a glance, I'd call it 2 LA, 4 RHD (monstrous humanoid, d10, 3/4 BAB, 4+int skill points/leve, good reflex & will).
