100% an Aarakocra or Kenku. I will be inconsolable if there are no avian races available - either one is fine. I just need an avian race in a CRPG already, damnit. Kenku especially are my favourite race - if they can't make 'em playable due to the mimicry restriction, at least having one as a party member would be reasonable.
Otherwise, dragonborn and kobolds are pretty great. I just sincerely hope we aren't given only PHB races to work with. Sick to death of the Tolkien dwarves, elves, halflings, etc. at this point.
