Bird man (4)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
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" .)
