Are you sure the body is "natural ostrich" it looks very like peacock. Natural ostrich is a pale drab grey, sometimes it can have a darker centre, a bit like a miniature badger hackle.

Yes mate ....just palmared the ostrich back through the peacock, you can just notice it in top and bottom pic as a bit creamy looking.
