Finch (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

linnet

'finch' is the definition.
(I know that linnet is a type of finch)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for linnet that I've seen before include "Type of finch" , "Songbird in Lent" , "Finch so named because it feeds on flax" , "Yeats's song-bird" , "Songbird (to 6 18)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, The Sunday Times and the Penny Press.
