It is only the Wodcock and Green that gets a mention in Stan Headley's "Flies of Scotland.....

Ah; but Moc Morgan's "Flies of Wales" has full dressings and plate illustrations of Woodcock & Green, Woodcock & Mixed, and Woodcock & Yellow; as well as some variants with Welsh language names.
A local claret bodied favourite, is the 'Welsh Partridge'; not mentioned by Moc...
Neither can I find an official dressing, imagine a brown Partridge dabblerized Mallard & Claret, but without the wing.
