Crossword Genius

Unexpectedly huge, Robin Hood’s person? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

neighbour

'hood's person?' is the definition.
(resident of a neighbourhood)

'unexpectedly huge robin' is the wordplay.
'unexpectedly' is an anagram indicator.
'huge'+'robin'='hugerobin'
'hugerobin' with letters rearranged gives 'NEIGHBOUR'.

(Other definitions for neighbour that I've seen before include "Chap next door" , "Someone in the street" , "Nearby resident" , "Person who lives next door" , "Abut" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
