Elegant shorebird (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stilt

(Other definitions for stilt that I've seen before include "laboured and unnatural in the past" , "Long-legged wader" , "Aid for walking tall" , "Supporting column driven into the ground - wading bird" , "bird found on shore" .)

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