Hi Quivira Kid,
Some cool purplish feathers can also be found on a cock ring neck pheasant, up around the neck.
Here's a top down view:
And here's the side view, where the wing is tied flat on top in the Pukeko style. I posted this a little while back, so you may have seen this one recently:
This next one is called Leslie's Lure, and is a "Killer Style" fly. The tail is pheasant tail fibres, and the sides are from a hen pheasnt. It would have dubbed body, probably red or yellow wool, but I can't recall off the top of my head. (Red is traditional for the night version, and yellow for the day, but for the life of me, with the body covered by the sides I don't know why this would matter!
