Nice.
The hackle looks to be just long enough to cloak the body material giving the illusion of the "treat" inside of the flash.
Does the body look more red in the hand than it does in the photograph? Or is the black hook shank bleeding through the flash to give a coppery tone?

Slender? That's downright anorexic.
