Metallic Peacock and Partridge (Revised)

[cholcomb13]

About a month ago I posted a pic of my Metallic peacock and partridge it has had great success locally and I've tied it for a few swaps now...here is the same pattern with a few revisions and omissions.

Thread: Silk
Tail: No
Hackle: partridge (except it is from the darker part of the bird



It's amazing how the darker feather gives this pattern a completely different look and I'm sure the silk will darken when it gets wet.
