Bird like this coming back to quarry (6)
I believe the answer is:
osprey
'bird' is the definition.
(I know that osprey is a type of hawk)
'like this coming back to quarry' is the wordplay.
'like this' becomes 'so' ('like so').
'coming back' is a reversal indicator.
'to quarry' becomes 'prey' (synonyms).
'so' in reverse letter order is 'os'.
'os'+'prey'='OSPREY'
(Other definitions for osprey that I've seen before include "Lakeland bird" , "The fishing eagle" , "Large bird preying on fish in inland waters" , "Bird of fine feather" , "A feather trimming (6)" .)
