Crossword Genius

Egret from Rhone, maybe (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heron

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

'rhone maybe' is the wordplay.
'maybe' is an anagram indicator.
'rhone' anagrammed gives 'HERON'.

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for heron that I've seen before include "Long-legged long-necked wading bird" , "Wading bird with long neck and legs" , "Tall wading bird" , "flier" , "Bird of the Rhone, strangely" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
