English term or phrase: stuck to his throat

El contexto:
A few locks of glossy dark hair had stuck to his throat. Other than his eyes and the pale blue veins visible just under the skin, they were his only color.

Mi propuesta:
Unos pocos mechones de pelo oscuro brillante estaban pegados a su garganta. Aparte de sus ojos y de las venas azules pálidas visibles justo debajo de su piel, éste era su único color.

se habían pegado a su garganta

Explanation:
Coincido con el comentario de Daniel Watson (en la sección de clarificaciones) -- o sea, tu propia traducción está bien, Eva, menos el tiempo verbal -- pero no lo vi como respuesta. Por eso lo sugiero aquí, pero le doy el crédito a él.
