Step 7:
Prepare a Church Window feather from below the neck of the Ringneck Pheasant, by stripping off all the webby flue. Place it concave side up on top of the hook shank, with the tips facing forward. Make a single turn of thread over the bare section of the feather, then slowly pull the feather backwards, until just the tips remain trapped. Make several turns to secure.
Step 8:
Mix some dubbing to be slightly darker than the abdomen. Dub a thorax and head, then pull the wingcase over the thorax and head and secure. Whip finish and tie off.
