Can anyone tell me the name of this fly? I might have seen it here but can’t find it

Black thread or floss body
Gold or silver tinsel or wire rib
Mallard flank wing
Black hackle .

Like a luzerne,except black with a rib.

It has been productive for me, but, I don’t even know what it is .

Re: Black body and hackle , mallard flank

No tail,no tag.
Wing tied in a bunch, like a sparse hair wing , not folded or rolled
 
I fish something very similar and made up my own name for it, pocono special. Very effective there and at Penn’s.
 
crazy effective on penns
