Extract revealing masculine type (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

milk

'extract' is the definition.
(milking is a kind of extracting)

'masculine type' is the wordplay.
'masculine' becomes 'm'.
'type' becomes 'ilk' (I've seen this before).
'm'+'ilk'='MILK'

'revealing' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for milk that I've seen before include "an early delivery?" , "Use" , "A white drink" , "Nourishing fluid produced by mammals" , "Source of cream/butter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
