Crossword Genius

Good score for a bird (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eagle

I believe this is a double definition.

'good score' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'bird' is the second definition.
(eagle is a type of bird)

'for a' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for eagle that I've seen before include "somewhat under par" , "The bald one is a US symbol" , "Symbolic American bird" , "It may soar" , "King of birds" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
