An owl-like nose? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hooter

I believe this is a double definition.

'an owl' is the first definition.
(I know that owl can be written as hooter)

'nose?' is the second definition.
(hooter can informally mean someone's nose)

'like' is the link.

(Other definitions for hooter that I've seen before include "Factory siren" , "Siren; nose (sl.)" , "Warning sound" , "One scents" , "Car horn or slang nose" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
