Hound or hawk that hunts (7)

I believe the answer is:

harrier

(Other definitions for harrier that I've seen before include "that flies!" , "Hare hound" , "Long distance runner" , "Bird - dog - plane" , "Cross-country runner and a hound once used for hunting hares" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
