Nice.
The original pattern also calls for a silver or pearl body. Also try my most productive light blue. Use a violet body if there are small sand eels around. Plus as Bondorew did tie down the whole wing over the hook point for a sand eel with a few thread wraps. This is personal preferance but since the Ray's fly is a sparse tie I like peacock herl that is very thin. The thicker type seems top heavy.
