Greedy guts has lots of time for this bird (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pigeon

'this bird' is the definition.
(type of bird)

'greedy guts has lots of time' is the wordplay.
'greedy guts' becomes 'pig' (both can mean a greedy person).
'has' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'lots of time' becomes 'eon' (I've seen this in another clue).
'pig'+'eon'='PIGEON'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for pigeon that I've seen before include "Common city bird" , "Epigon (anag.)" , "Bird of the dove family" , "See 1 Across" , "Town and woodland bird" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
