Flier making a sound turn (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tern

'flier' is the definition.
(type of bird)

'a sound turn' is the wordplay.
'a sound' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'turn' is a homophone of 'TERN'.

'making' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tern that I've seen before include "Three-masted schooner" , "Pay rent for seabird" , "Winger" , "Long-winged aquatic bird" , "Fork-tailed relative of the gull" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
