Carbon copy for head (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cape

'head' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'carbon copy' is the wordplay.
'carbon' becomes 'c' (C is the chemical symbol for carbon).
'copy' becomes 'ape' ('ape' can be a synonym of 'copy').
'c'+'ape'='CAPE'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for cape that I've seen before include "Covering for the shoulders" , "Shoulders? They're covered in it" , "Wrath perhaps" , "Florida space flight centre" , "Wrath, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
