Golf man I teased for birdie? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flamingo

'birdie?' is the definition.
(flamingo is a bird)

'golf man i teased' is the wordplay.
'teased' indicates an anagram.
'golf'+'man'+'i'='golfmani'
'golfmani' anagrammed gives 'FLAMINGO'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for flamingo that I've seen before include "Long-legged bird" , "Pink wading-bird" , "Wading bird with pink and red plumage" , "colourful bird" , "Exotic bird" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
