Caught Nepali flying bird (7)
I believe the answer is:
pelican
'bird' is the definition.
(I know that pelican is a type of pelecaniform seabird)
'caught nepali flying' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'flying' indicates an anagram (letters fly around into new positions).
'c'+'nepali'='cnepali'
'cnepali' is an anagram of 'PELICAN'.
(Other definitions for pelican that I've seen before include "Tropical bird" , "Bird, large bag under bill" , "Bird's" , "Aquatic bird with pouch" , "Water bird with throat pouch for fish" .)
