Blackbird relative (6)
I believe the answer is:
oriole
'blackbird relative' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for oriole that I've seen before include "Golden-yellow bird" , "Black and yellow US bird" , "Did Leo or I hear the tropical songbird?" , "Bird, Baltimore --" , "(Tropical or American) songbird" .)
