Fleshy extension at back of the soft palate (5)

I believe the answer is:

uvula

(Other definitions for uvula that I've seen before include "Part of one's mouth" , "Fleshy projection hanging from roof of mouth" , "Flap at the back of the soft palate" , "Mouthpiece" , "Fleshy piece hanging over the throat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
