Bird man (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rook

This clue is a double definition.

'bird' is the first definition.
(rook is a kind of bird)

'man' is the second definition.
(rook is a kind of man)

(Other definitions for rook that I've seen before include "Defraud; bird; chessman" , "Rip off - bird" , "Poignant, evocative" , "Bird; playing piece" , "Crow-like bird" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
