For a biped or quadruped, you can usually disregard the tail for purposes of calculating SM, but a legless creature implies that the "tail" is actually part of the the main body, rather than a limb, so you're looking at something more like a snake than a monkey. I'd do it that way - you've got something like a winged snake, so there really isn't a clear line between "body" and "tail."
