Country seen differently by upset convict (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

senegal

'country' is the definition.
(Senegal is an example)

'seen differently by upset convict' is the wordplay.
'differently' is an anagram indicator.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'upset' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'convict' becomes 'lag' (I've seen this before).
'lag' reversed gives 'gal'.
'seen' anagrammed gives 'sene'.
'sene'+'gal'='SENEGAL'

(Other definitions for senegal that I've seen before include "Former French colony in Africa" , "Part of Africa" , "Sea glen in the African state" , "Land" , "Northwest African country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
