I searched my extensive waterfowl skin/wing and upland bird collection (I'm a serious soft hackle fan when I must fish for trout,)and the only thing that comes close that I found were various pigeons, you know how multicolored those are. I use the smallest covert feathers on the shoulder for tiny soft hackles on this bird to realistically #20, but as small as #24. A rare bird for the fly tyer but I am very certain.<br /><br />GreggGregghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02623587945737239141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1375748407441818732.post-90872059767797390722011-11-03T11:26:47.049-07:002011-11-03T11:26:47.049-07:00Thanks David.
