Just tying for fun. Tail is from a scrap grouse feather, body is rabbit cheek dubbed split-thread style, hackle is quail.

Makes a juicy looking morsel.

Thanks, Ray (letumgo) and Bill (tie2fish). I love tying these things. Soft hackles and flymphs are just somehow more gratifying to tie than any other style of fly. Not sure how that works.
