Original material

As written in the book:

Is very much the same, only the body is a trifle yellower at the tail; the tail is made of tippet sprigs, and the body is not so deep a brown up at the shoulders. The under wing is of peacock, not too bright, and the upper of dark dun turkey.

Note "before": Tag silver twist; tail, some sprigs from the saddle-feathers of gold pheasant; body, very rough pig's wool, a sort of orange-brown at tail, merging into more and more brown, until it is dark bear's brown at shoulder; coch-y-bondu hackle, with plenty of black at the but for the shoulder; medium gold tinsel; wings, two slips of grey drake under, and two of light dun turkey over
