Barn topper that indicates wind direction (4)

I believe the answer is:

vane

(Other definitions for vane that I've seen before include "Windmill sail in 30 across" , "Blade of a propeller" , "Fin attached to the tail of an arrow" , "Weather blade" , "Turbine blade" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
