Bird left with English name (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

title

'name' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'bird left with english' is the wordplay.
'bird' becomes 'tit' (I've seen this before**).
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'tit'+'l'+'e'='TITLE'

(Other definitions for title that I've seen before include "Name of book, picture or rank" , "Book's name" , "Designation of honour, rank or office" , "Sign of nobility or name of a work" , "headline?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
