Yes. That's a nice fly. The clipped hackle accomplishes much the same thing (a flat and low to the water profile).
If you study the morphology of the natural, in the first photo at the top of the thread, you'll see the body and wing are almost a pencil line. That's tough to imitate with Zelon. Your wing and also the duck flank wing (above) do a better job. The legs of the real bug radiate out in a horizontal circle, much like a horizontal parachute. That kind of detail-oriented dedication to mirroring the natural (as best as is possible, within a reasonable tying time) may or may not be important to the fish. But I like to do my best anyway.
