Hooked claw (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

talon

'hooked claw' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for talon that I've seen before include "Raptor's claw" , "a gripping one" , "Bird of prey's claw" , "One hooked on bird" , "Large claw" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex), the Sydney Morning Herald, The Mirror, The Guardian, The Telegraph and The Times.
