Bogey, perhaps (7)

I believe the answer is:

colonel

'bogey perhaps' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for colonel that I've seen before include "Bogey perhaps" , "Army three downn" , "soldier" , "High-ranking officer" , "Rank (below brigadier)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
