Daughter of Herodias who called for the head of John the Baptist (6)

I believe the answer is:

salome

(Other definitions for salome that I've seen before include "13 dn for Herod" , "She demanded head of John the Baptist" , "revealing play" , "18 [OPERA]" , "She danced with seven veils for the Baptist's head" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
