Animal that makes trumpet charge (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hornbill

'animal' is the definition.
(hornbill is a kind of animal)

'trumpet charge' is the wordplay.
'trumpet' becomes 'horn' (synonyms).
'charge' becomes 'bill' (synonyms).
'horn'+'bill'='HORNBILL'

'that makes' is the link.

(Other definitions for hornbill that I've seen before include "Flyer" , "Large-beaked bird" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
