Bird from Winnipeg returning (5)

I believe the answer is:

egret

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

'from winnipeg returning' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'EGRET' is hidden within 'winnipeg returning'.

(Other definitions for egret that I've seen before include "Wader with white plumage" , "Long-plumed heron" , "Bird eating fish" , "One of a pair of waders" , "Seabird" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
