Meadowlark's cousin (6)
I believe the answer is:
oriole
'meadowlark's cousin' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for oriole that I've seen before include "(Tropical or American) songbird" , "Flyer" , "Golden-yellow bird" , "Did Leo or I hear the tropical songbird?" , "Black and yellow US bird" .)
