Fly from coloured container (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bluebottle

'fly' is the definition.
(bluebottle is a kind of fly)

'coloured container' is the wordplay.
'coloured' becomes 'blue' (similar in meaning).
'container' becomes 'bottle' (bottle is a kind of container).
'blue'+'bottle'='BLUEBOTTLE'

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bluebottle that I've seen before include "member of force" , "Flier" , "Copper - fly" , "Fly - policeman" , "get a buzz out of it!" .)
