          The error is a so-called "hidden fifth", or, "direct fifth". Your outer voices are moving into a perfect consonance by similar motion. Even in strict voice-leading this is often allowed except in cases like this where the soprano voice leaps, rather than steps, into the consonance. This sheet is a pretty good guide for voice-leading if you're in a theory class, but keep in mind that strict voice-leading presupposes a specific set of goals. Exercises like this are great practice, but when you're actually writing music you get to set your goals for yourself, and that's half the fun of it! :—)

            The voice leading error is the parallel fifth which occurs between the Bass (F - G), and the Tenor/Alto motion (C - D). The C is the first tenor note and the D is the second alto note. The fifths which are parallel to each other are F-C and G-D as you can see. We call them parallel because both notes of the fifth move in the same direction.

            • I'm always confused by this sort of thing because the C-D motion is not in the same voice! Maybe it's good to add that to your answer.
