Tied this one up over the last two nights.

Everything went swimmingly until the sides....my teal is poor and the gallina was worse.
Used sub for the green parrot in the wing; blue any yellow horns (no blue and red) Wool head (recommended by Radencich from the color plate in the book)

Pretty happy. Would have liked the wing a little lower - not enough taper off from the body will do that unfortunately.
And the 'leggy' hackle could be shorter too!

Nice Eunan. Being a mixed wing (I think thats the proper term) the teal sides look fine to me. They might be more noticeable on a built married wing. That hook looks sweet too. I think the whole package looks terrific.
