hackle

v. fasten a hackle to a fishing fly; cut roughly, chop, hack

n. neck feather (of a rooster, peacock, etc.); long thin feather used for making fishing flies

The hackle is a feather plume (most plumes are made of horsehair) that is attached to the headdress. In the British Army and the armies of some Commonwealth countries the hackle is worn by some infantry regiments, especially those designated fusilier regiments and those with Scottish and Northern Irish origins. It was commonly attached to the feather bonnet worn by Highland regiments (now usually only worn by drummers, pipers and bandsmen). The colour of the hackle varies from regiment to regiment.
