Thanks for subscribing to my channel, I’m very pleased you like my videos. Cookshill Flytying are a great place to source feather, wings and skins. But you could used any dark grey, very dark Dun or natural black feather. A natural black hen hackle with a greyish look to it might be the easiest to find.
