Default Looking for a flee

I was using this flee today and doing rather well until I lost it to a tree trout. I have searched for a sbs for it but struggling.

It's kind of like a flashback hare's ear soft hackle.

I'll try to describe it.

Pretty much a hare's ear, ribbed, had pearl flash or something along the top of the back and I think what looked like partridge hackle but quite short (not as long as would be tied with a soft hackle hare's ear).

Does anyone know of a sbs for a fly that matches this description?

Thanks in advance,
Tam

Buzz yours is closer but the only difference is my fly actually looked like it had small wings made from just a few fibres of either mallard flank or partridge, no legs, just a thorax. I can't remember if it had pheasant tail cover the thorax or the flat tinsel. If that makes sense.

Anyway, where everyone else was struggling I was catching with this wee ****** and although I have now tied up what I think it looked like, I'm not sure I have the materials or the pattern just right.
