Split hairs (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

quibble

nitpick

(Other definitions for nitpick that I've seen before include "Criticise pettily" , "Make petty criticisms" , "Be fussily pedantic" , "Carp" , "Pedantically find fault" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Times, the Newsday and The Sunday Times.
