Female a bit washed out? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

she

'female' is the definition.
('she' refers to a woman)

'a bit washed out?' is the wordplay.
'a bit' says the answer is hidden in the clue (I've seen 'bit of' mean this).
'SHE' is hidden in the letters of 'washedout'.

(Other definitions for she that I've seen before include "- - Loves You (Beatles)" , "Female pronoun" , "Book" , "fiction" , "That woman" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
