Awfully grim realm, ultimately quite suitable for a vulture (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lammergeier

'a vulture' is the definition.
(lammergeier is a kind of vulture)

'awfully grim realm ultimately quite suitable' is the wordplay.
'awfully' indicates an anagram.
'ultimately' suggests the final letters.
The last letters of 'quite suitable' are 'ee'.
'grim'+'realm'+'ee'='grimrealmee'
'grimrealmee' with letters rearranged gives 'LAMMERGEIER'.

'for' is the link.
