Little hooter (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

owlet

'little hooter' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for owlet that I've seen before include "Young fly-by-night" , "Young nocturnal bird of prey" , "Junior member of parliament" , "One may give a little screech" , "Wise baby bird?" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and the King Feature Syndicate.
