Catch a glimpse of some state’s pyramids (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

espy

'catch a glimpse of' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'some state's pyramids' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'ESPY' is hidden in the letters of 'states pyramids'.

(Other definitions for espy that I've seen before include "Catch sight of (poetic)" , "Perceive" , "See" , "Behold" , "Spot, notice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
