Little Richard finding this a strain? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rick

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'little richard' is the first definition.
(short for Richard)

'this a strain?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

'finding' is the link.

(Other definitions for rick that I've seen before include "Straw stack" , "Stack, of hay say" , "Wrench; haystack" , "Stack of hay - pain in the neck" , "result of making hay?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
