Not crazy about the shade of olive on the tail and collar but this was more to establish the tying sequence; I?ll try something else next go-round.
hook - WFC Model 3 #12
thread - Danville 6/0 olive
tail - pheasant rump dyed olive
rib - Uni Stretch yellow
body - hare?s ear dyed olive
underwing - CdC dark dun
overwing/head - deer hair dyed dun
collar - sharptail grouse dyed olive
