Bird causing one to talk on street (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stonechat

'bird' is the definition.
(stonechat is a kind of bird)

'one to talk on street' is the wordplay.
'to talk' becomes 'chat' (I've seen this before**).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'street' becomes 'st'.
'one'+'chat'='onechat'
'onechat' put after 'st' is 'STONECHAT'.

'causing' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for stonechat that I've seen before include "singer" , "Bird of thrush family" , "Small heathland bird" , "Heathland songbird" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
