Duck down (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eider

This clue is a double definition.

'duck' is the first definition.
(eider is a type of duck)

'down' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for eider that I've seen before include "Duck providing fine down" , "Type of duck" , "Downy sea duck" , "Sea-duck" , "Breed of duck" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the Penny Press, the King Feature Syndicate, The Globe and Mail, the LA Times and The Irish Independent.
