Flutter to be in (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bat

I believe this is a double definition.

'flutter' is the first definition.
('bat' can be a synonym of 'flutter')

'be in' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bat that I've seen before include "Nocturnal mouselike mammal" , "A mammal; a club" , "Flutter (eyelids)" , "Small winged mammal, may be vampire" , "Small flying mammal, may be vampire" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
