London architect’s songbird (4)
I believe the answer is:
wren
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'london architect's' is the first definition.
(Christopher Wren, 17th-century architect)
'songbird' is the second definition.
(type of songbird)
(Other definitions for wren that I've seen before include "held up by wings at small scale?" , "of two wings?" , "Architect of St Paul's Cathedral" , "Tiny bird" , "See 7 Down" .)
