Avenger who stepped into the role of Captain America (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

falcon

(Other definitions for falcon that I've seen before include "Kind of hunting bird - peregrine is one" , "A hunting bird, may be peregine" , "Hunting bird like peregrine or merlin" , "Hunter winged" , "Hunting bird, may be peregrine" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
