Cousin of a bittern (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

egret

'cousin of a bittern' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for egret that I've seen before include "Wading bird like a heron" , "Stork-like bird" , "Kind of white heron - greet it" , "Wader with white plumage" , "White, plumed waterbird" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
