Coming from frontier Celia saw a hawk (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tiercel

'a hawk' is the definition.
(tiercel is a kind of hawk)

'coming from frontier celia saw' is the wordplay.
'coming from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'TIERCEL' is hidden in the letters of 'frontier celia saw'.

(Other definitions for tiercel that I've seen before include "See hawk" , "It flies" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
