orange-tip

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'butterfly' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'over field by dump' is the wordplay.
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation).
'field by' becomes 'range' (I've seen this in other clues. I am not sure about the 'by' bit.).
'dump' becomes 'tip' (as in a rubbish tip).
'o'+'range'+'tip'='ORANGE-TIP'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for orange-tip that I've seen before include "Butterfly variety" , "British butterfly" , "Common butterfly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
