African runner (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ostrich

'african runner' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ostrich that I've seen before include "source of showy feathers" , "The head-in-the-sand bird" , "Torch is held over large bird" , "Creature" , "World's largest bird" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the Penny Press.
