A pencil drawing of a bird (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pelican

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bird' is the definition.
(pelican is a kind of bird)

'a pencil drawing of a' is the wordplay.
'a pencil' can be anagrammed to 'PELICAN'.
However, I am not clear how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pelican that I've seen before include "Large-billed seabird" , "Tropical bird" , "Large water bird" , "Long-billed waterbird" , "Large bird with pouch in bill for storing fish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
