Bird came out of the pines (5)
I believe the answer is:
snipe
'bird' is the definition.
(snipe is a kind of bird)
'came out of the pines' is the wordplay.
'came out of' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'coming out' mean this).
'pines' is an anagram of 'SNIPE'.
(Other definitions for snipe that I've seen before include "Shoot from place of concealment" , "From concealed position, shoot" , "Wading bird with long straight bill" , "Fire from cover; bird" , "To pick off soldiers, say" .)
