Not happy with name of bird (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bittern

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bird' is the definition.
(bittern is a kind of bird)

'not happy with name' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'name' could be 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms) and 'n' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'bitter' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'of' is the link.
