Default Lady Amherst Pheasant skin?

Got one of these as a swap for doing some internet work for a skin shop in
Sedona, AZ. ("Skin shop" meaning a shop that sells different skins, furs and
feathers, you perverts!!) Never saw one before, but thats because I'm still
clueless. Very pretty thing....yellow back, natural colored wings, bluish
neck, red breast....any special flies that these feathers are good for?

Hmm, from this website
http://www.angelfire.com/biz2/plumes...heasantII.html, I see that
its actually a Golden Pheasant Skin. They had it mislabled (and mispriced).

Plenty of ideas here;

There are thousands of flies which use such feathers.

If you got the tail - I prefer those for pheasant tail nymphs rather than
the usual Ringneck - great mottled look to the nymph.
