When ever you are using light color materials make sure that the thread is lighter in color than what is being tied. At some point in the tie you will be able to switch to the final head color. What a fly looks like dry can be very different when it gets wet. Sometimes the material used will get translucent and what is underneath will show through. The fly in the photo is a perfect example of what happens when the dark brown head color was also used in the body. If you enlarge the photo you can see through the mylar. Light green or chartreuse would have been a better thread choice.
