Crossword Genius

Castle flyer (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rook

I believe this is a double definition.

'castle' is the first definition.
(I know that castle can be written as rook)

'flyer' is the second definition.
(rook is a type of bird)

(Other definitions for rook that I've seen before include "Chess piece also called castle" , "Another name for castle in chess" , "Castle -- bird" , "Poignant, evocative" , "Rip off - bird" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
