An all petrochemical by-product variation of Brad Downey's poly-winged Sparkle Dun. The 2-tone wing's an attempt at improved visibility; not necessary but my eyes aren't what they used to be (all black works well, too, in dull, flat-light conditions). I tried stacking the black on top of the dun but couldn't get the wing to fan properly in smaller sizes like this, so I tried the cross-ways tie in and got the effect I was looking for; your mileage may vary. Tied here as a BWO; change colors to suit your needs.
