Mysterious eager breed of diving bird (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
eared grebe
'diving bird' is the definition.
'mysterious eager breed' is the wordplay.
'mysterious' indicates an anagram.
'eager'+'breed'='eagerbreed'
'eagerbreed' with letters rearranged gives 'EARED GREBE'.
'of' is the link.
I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
