Crossword Genius

A blackbird in Catania (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ani

'a blackbird' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'in catania' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'ANI' can be found hidden inside 'catania'.

(Other definitions for ani that I've seen before include "Black cuckoo" , "Tropical bird" , "Indigo dye." , "One winged" , "Bird of the cuckoo family" .)

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