Shouldn't be too hard to fix if you want.

 

Actually, your fly is a pupa. The video is technically a later stage emerger with a prominent wing. I guess I don't understand putting a bead on a stage of an insect that is found in or just under the film. The Gary LaFontaine sparkle pupa is tied without a bead so my recommendation is to tie some without beads.

 

Here are versions of a patten I tie. The the first photo is the unveiled fly, middle photo is version of the sparkle pupa with a wrapped veil, and the last photo is a wetted veiled fly.
