A game bird (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

partridge

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">a game bird</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(type of game bird)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for partridge that I've seen before include "Peculiarly apt girder for the game bird" , "sort of quail" , "Flighty type" , "1st" , "Game bird (in a pear tree?)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
