Meadowlark kin (6)
I believe the answer is:
oriole
'meadowlark kin' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for oriole that I've seen before include "Baseball player in Baltimore" , "Bird of which male has black and yellow plumage" , "Bird, Baltimore --" , "Bright-plumaged bird" , "Oil ore, strangely, for the songbird" .)
