A wading bird in a bar (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rail

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'a wading bird' is the first definition.
(rail is a kind of wading bird)

'bar' is the second definition.
(I know that rail is a type of bar)

'in a' is the link.

(Other definitions for rail that I've seen before include "Track for wheels" , "transport system" , "Bar of track or fence" , "Complain bitterly - wading bird" , "Bird with long legs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
