autumn leaf
Seasonal orange flutter
A leaf that has changed color or fallen during autumn.
The phrase evokes the seasonal transformation when foliage turns yellow, orange, and red before dropping: Autumn leaves covered the sidewalk.
Figuratively, autumn leaf suggests something in its final, fading stage of beauty.
