It's a size 10 long shank hook, body is black chenille, wing case and head bit is peacock herl, my third ever fly but I'm proud of this one as I made it up as I went along :)

Ok the best way to take a picture of a fly is to have it zoomed out all the way, and to have a blue background. The blue helps to contrast colors in the camera so that might help. From what it might look like and from how you described it, the fly should be a neat little fly. Also you could take some dyed black pheasant tail and put the tips on either side to make wings. Hope this gives you some ideas and helPs a little with picture taking.
