Bird (5)

Ross

'bird' is the definition.
(I know that quail is a type of phasianid)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for quail that I've seen before include "Game bird - cower" , "recoil with fear" , "Shrink; a bird" , "Flinch like gamebird" , "Small bird of the partridge family" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, the L.A. Times Daily, the Evening Standard, the Newsday.com and The Washington Post.
