I recognize that the tail is on the thin side.
Looks good and I think the fish will agree

It would not hurt to tie a few with about 1/2 the deer hair because at times a sparser fly is the better choice. I carry both bulky and sparse muddlers in my box for this reason

Try a white/silver with a little flash version with the red gills. This comes in handy especially in low visibility
