Tim,
This a beautiful fly and well done mister. On our Poldervlieg club we had an evening with Herman Broers and we have tied with him also a sparrow:

Scroll down and click on the picture of the sparrow, if you the click again on the picture you will also have a big picture of the fly Herman Tied for and with us.
Greeting
