A tad hungry (7)

I believe the answer is:

peckish

(Other definitions for peckish that I've seen before include "A bit hungry like bird?" , "Wanting something to eat" , "Informally hungry - like a bird?" , "Getting hungry (informal)" , "Rather hungry (colloq.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
