Since you sooooooo want a reply, I figured I would give you one.
 
Not a bad idea.  However, it's not said that Tonks can morph into other/certain people but change her appearance.  Plus, she would have to know Barty quite well to pull it off, and he was under an invisibility cloak for 12-13 years.  Crouch was able to do Moody because Moody's demeanor and behavior are so well known.  I would assume that what holds true for animagi holds for metamorphmagi; that sex cannot be changed.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Tonks always appear as women?  Her height did not vary either, right?  Plus, Harry/Ron = Crabbe/Goyle when using Polyjuice Potion.  Hermione was supposed to be Milicent.  Same sex, different morphs.
