Crossword Genius

It's a puzzle for an exhibitionist! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

poser

I believe this is a double definition.

'it's a puzzle' is the first definition.
(poser can mean a mystery or puzzle)

'for an exhibitionist' is the second definition.
(poser is a kind of exhibitionist)

(Other definitions for poser that I've seen before include "Particularly baffling problem" , "Someone behaving so as to be noticed" , "One pretends to be something they are not" , "Show-off" , "difficult puzzle" .)

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