I tried picturing this fly in my mind at work yesterday and this morning I put it together. I have a feeling black wings would look better.
After seeing it bigger on the forum, I don't like it. Tail looks a tad too long and black wings would look better.
Any thoughts?

I think the tail length is fine iasgair. I would leave as is to see if it works. I wouldn’t have a problem using it for sea trout or salmon in coloured water.
Remove the wing altogether and it could be called the “queens guard”

Don’t cast doubt,cast out.

Red winged Coachman tied loch style wet? I agree with reducing the tail for proportion. Not sure the fish would care mind. A darker wing would put that fly tied in smaller sizes in the chironomid/buzzer/midge box as a 'pulling fly' in a suitable hatch, for me at least. I like it
