Well, let's consider the probabilities of each: 1. Two birds of the same size flying near eachother. Well, that happens all the time. What's the probability of the viewing angle lining up just right so that the birds look "connected" in such a way? Slim, but certainly possible.
2. A bird with 4 wings and at least 3 feet surviving into maturity. Extremely slim. A bird with 4 wings and at least 3 feet being able to actually use both sets of wings in a coherent manner allowing it to fly? Virtually impossible.
3. Two pictures of the same bird in flight taken in rapid succession accidentally applied on top of eachother. The probability of that probably depends on the camera. It's highly unlikely, but still more probable than #2.

perhaps your number 3 is a slim possibility, but the truth will likely remain unknown.
