Default FF&FT Conehead shrimps

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and was after some advice. I was wondering if anyone new which part of the golden pheasent was used for the tail in the conehead shrimps featured in Februrary's FF&FT (pg 42-43) I have only used the crest before and it doesn't look like that to me.

Thanks

The feathers used for the tails are the Breast feather from a GP skin. Its the same feather that is used for the tails on the majority of Irish Shrimp patterns.
