Why would a creature only have feathers on its back?

I have a new creature from my complex remembered dreams. It's skin color is a dark color similar to the skin of a Silkie chicken. The thing I saw in the dream also has white feathers.
It's body is something like this:
Simplified side view. Gray=skin. White=feathers. Has four arms, four legs, and tail with clawed hand. Two wings. Has feather bits on head to protect ears like a bird has.
I'm wondering if a creature would have a reason to have feather covering only on its back area. Sun protection would probably be redundant since it has dark skin.
