Bird that flies without wings (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kite

This clue is a double definition.

'bird' is the first definition.
(kite is a kind of bird)

'that flies without wings' is the second definition.
(as in flying a kite)

(Other definitions for kite that I've seen before include "Toy; aircraft (dated)" , "flyer" , "Kind of toy flown on string" , "plane" , "High as a - -" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
