Little bird wrapped in a scarf in church (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

finch

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'little bird' is the definition.
'finch' can be an answer for 'bird' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'little' bit.

'wrapped in a scarf in church' is the wordplay.
'wrapped in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'FINCH' can be found hidden inside 'scarf in church'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for finch that I've seen before include "Singer" , "Seed-eating songbird" , "Songbird such as a canary" , "Peter - - , film actor; bird" , "Type of bird" .)
