Most skeletal one with bits misplaced (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

boniest

'most skeletal' is the definition.
('bony' can be a synonym of 'skeletal')

'one with bits misplaced' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'misplaced' indicates an anagram.
'one'+'bits'='onebits'
'onebits' is an anagram of 'BONIEST'.

(Another definition for boniest that I've seen is " Most lean".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
