Invisible fly  ;D I think you need a lighter background.

I can't really make much of it out...but one thing I can see is that the tail is too long.  Usual proportion for the length of the tail is usually between gap length of the hook, to shank length of the hook.

what is it supposed to be? How do you intend to fish it? It looks sort of like a mayfly dun. Providing the recipe may help if you are looking for some feedback.
