British army officer immediately junior to a brigadier (7)

I believe the answer is:

colonel

(Other definitions for colonel that I've seen before include "Army officer ranking below a brigadier" , "Army three downn" , "No cello (anag.)" , "soldier" , "Rank (below brigadier)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
