Am a shade put out about and sheepish (7)
I believe the answer is:
ashamed
'sheepish' is the definition.
('ashamed' can be similar in meaning to 'sheepish')
'am a shade put out about' is the wordplay.
'put out' indicates anagramming the letters.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'shade' is an anagram of 'ashed'.
'am' put within 'ashed' is 'ASHAMED'.
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for ashamed that I've seen before include "Having painful regret for behaviour" , "Chagrined" , "Discomfited" , "Abashed - embarrassed" , "Feeling bad, having done something wrong" .)
