A __ pittance (4)

I believe the answer is:

mere

(Other definitions for mere that I've seen before include "Nothing more than - water" , "Small area of standing water" , "Insignificant" , "Nothing more than is specified - or a poetic lake" , "Pond - pure and simple" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
