This came about after a bit of a ham fistedness. I was going to make a wee bumble, I palmered the orange hackle down the body then as got hold of the gold tinsel it broke off. So I just gave the orange hackle a few turns at the collar then tied on the purple partridge hackle at the head.
The lighting doesnt show the true colours of this fly

Thread Brown Uni
Tail. Golden Pheasant Crest
Body. Fiery yellow SLF
Collar hackle . HotOrange cock hackle
Head Hackle. Purple Partridge hackle

Nice tying, have to agree about requiring a rib, medium gold oval I would suggest. Picture does not do it justice? that is very true sad to say.

As I already said , my intention was to palmer the body but when I went to wrap on th gold tinsel it broke away . Rather than waste the fly I tied the intended body hackle as a collar hackle behind the head hackle. I'm gonna tie it now as I intended it to be.
