An official of the College of Arms ranking above a pursuivant (6)

I believe the answer is:

herald

(Other definitions for herald that I've seen before include "Official crier or messenger" , "Announce, presage" , "Proclaim the approach of, like old messenger" , "College of Arms official" , "Usher in; proclaim" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
