Lot's of input on this one. A variation on Steve Bird's version (especially like the black rabbit wingcase; you could sub marabou); swapped out the dubbed body with fibers from the "other" side of a pheasant tail feather, per Larry Jurgens suggestion

hook - Dai Riki 320 #16
thread - MFC 8/0 brown
rib - x-small wire copper
tail - pheasant tail (the "good" side)
abdomen - pheasant tail (the "other" side")
thorax - dubbing dark hare's ear/olive/brown/dun mix
wing case - black rabbit
hackle - brown hen
head - a bit more of the thorax
Part 1
mash barb, start thread and tie in rib (should have tied in the hackle to start things off, but I forgot)

pull off a few pheasant tail fibers, measure (shank); tie in

Nice pattern. Thanx for the mention on using the "other side" of the secondary PT fibers.
