Fish which might be straying (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stingray

'fish' is the definition.
(stingray is a kind of fish)

'might be straying' is the wordplay.
'might' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'straying' with letters rearranged gives 'STINGRAY'.

'which' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for stingray that I've seen before include "Marine creature with venomous tail" , "Flatfish with barbed spine" , "Poisonous spined fish" , "Large fish with tail spine" , "Fish with venomous tail" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
