Girl turning up with award — a winged figure (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cupid

'a winged figure' is the definition.

'girl turning up with award' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'di'.
'turning up' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'award' becomes 'cup' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'di' reversed gives 'id'.
'id' put after 'cup' is 'CUPID'.

(Other definitions for cupid that I've seen before include "naked boy" , "Blind god" , "One killed for religion" , "godlike figure" , "Match-making archer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
