Nice. I really like the older style full feather wing flies. Since I have a full Guinea skin I'll have to tie a few of those and throw them at some fish.

I am surprised that Guinea Hen doesn't have as much following as it should. The feathers are readily available and the mottling is terrific. Better yet is to dye Guinea in colors like brown, tan, olive, etc.
It is a great feather that looks fantastic on a fly.
