Second of all, Bean is right, this thing could easily be a hatchling. What other evidence suggests it's just a tinier version of a different species? It's not like we have thousands of these things to compare it to. Paleontologists love to jump to conclusions, and then repeat those things as fact.

But primitive relative of giant pterosaurs? That may be an oversimplification. Pterosaurs once filled a wide variety of niches, and came in all shapes and sizes. But they couldn't compete with birds, and were eventually forced into the only niche where they still had an advantage, that of giant gliders. How cute! But primitive relative of giant pterosaurs?
