Last ring ordered for bird (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

starling

'bird' is the definition.
(starling is a kind of bird)

'last ring ordered' is the wordplay.
'ordered' indicates an anagram.
'last'+'ring'='lastring'
'lastring' is an anagram of 'STARLING'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for starling that I've seen before include "Common garden bird" , "Slant rig for the strange bird" , "Bird from heavenly body and fish" , "Might Gran list badly for the bird" , "Dark, glossy bird" .)
