In territory in December mud annoys (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bermudan

'in territory' is the definition.
(in Bermuda)

'in december mud annoys' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'BERMUDAN' is hidden in the letters of 'december mud annoys'.

(Other definitions for bermudan that I've seen before include "Coming from an island" , "Pour out copiously" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
