Flier in two arguments (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sparrow

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'flier' is the definition.
(sparrow is a kind of birdanimal)

'two arguments' is the wordplay.
'two arguments' can mean two replacements for 'argument'.
'argument' becomes 'spar' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'argument' becomes 'row' (to row is to argue).
'spar'+'row'='SPARROW'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sparrow that I've seen before include "Little brown bird" , "Finch-like bird" , "House bird" , "(Formerly very) common British bird" , "bird produced" .)
