Young hooter (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

owlet

'young hooter' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for owlet that I've seen before include "Young nocturnal bird of prey" , "Young bird; moth" , "Young hooter" , "Nestling" , "Towel (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and The Wall Street Journal.
