Hatching Mayfly Nymph

As promised, here is a painted fly.  I did this with a little color but I wonder how effective this fly would be tied up all in black. I have never seen this guy in black but I suspect that if you are fishing hatching flies this winter or early spring, I suspect a black version of this fly would probably produce.  Anyway, I know this is a late day post but I hope you like it and if you have fished this fly (or one like it) in black, let me know how it produced for you.
