Brasswind fish? (9)
I believe the answer is:
trumpeter
'fish?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for trumpeter that I've seen before include "Brass player" , "Perhaps Nellie" , "Jumbo?" , "Elephant perhaps" , "It's the valve operator" .)
