Yes, they are restricted in their choice of Skill Focus as a feat, but they gain something very few races have in the second feature - choice. That's a powerful thing for a race to get, so I figured Skill Focus kinda fits the skill bonus of humes, and the choice of tasty bonus abilities/bonus feats as... well, the feat.
Still, not entirely sure about the balance. Race creation isn't my strong suit. Too weak?
In fact, the races in the Pathfinder version are back to +2 to two stats, -2 to one (or alternatively +2 to a single chosen stat, in the case of Humes). The Aegyl even have +2 to 2, -2 to 2, for a total of +0 (I suppose that comes as a tradeoff for their flying).
The only race which can get +2 to 2 stats without penalties are the Humes themselves, by choosing an alternate class feature which substitute both the bonus Skill points and the Bonus Feat. So, +2 to two stats plus bonuses is fairly overpowered as things are right now.
Have you checked the Races part of the website as of now? Vil had a nice idea of including alternate class features for all races for the Pathfinder version, and also favoured class bonuses. Perhaps you could include some extra abilities and keep the options you devised as alternate class features? I feel that might fit!
