Egyptian god with the head of a falcon (5)

I believe the answer is:

horus

(Other definitions for horus that I've seen before include "Falcon-headed old Egyptian god" , "Egyptian hawk-headed god" , "Falcon-headed god of ancient Egypt" , "Egyptian sun-god" , "Egyptian god of the sun" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.
