As written in the book:
Same as above, except that silver tinsel and beading are used instead of gold, and grey cock hackle along the body of the fly instead of red cock hackle.
Note, before: Body black with three bars of flat gold tinsel, between which are three rows of very fine gold beading. Tip of the tail sometimes finished with orange silk. Red cock hackle from the tail coverts - soft and fine - along the body of the fly. Shoulder hackle of teal or guinea-fowl. Wing, mallard.
