Looks good to me DryRod. Here is one of my early attempts at a stone fly about 5 years ago.

The thorax and abdomen are out of porportion lengthwise. I did use FG method of putting the lead on. As you can see I did not use a different color thread for the head. The main reason was that I was stupid enough to think I could always remember. But the other half was I intented to only do this fly as a weighted nymph.
Oh, another reason to use a different colored thread is that some places such as Yellowstone National Park and Rocky Mountain National Park you can not use lead weighted flies nor lead weights. So if you have them ID'd with a special color then you can cull them out of your box before going to one of those places.
