Flying female monkey call (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
tinker bell
'flying female' is the definition.
(fairy in Peter Pan)
'monkey call' is the wordplay.
'monkey' becomes 'tinker' (both can mean to fidget or mess with something).
'call' becomes 'bell' (I've seen this before).
'tinker'+'bell'='TINKER BELL'
(Another definition for tinker bell that I've seen is " Fairy in Peter Pan".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
