One better than a birdie (5)

I believe the answer is:

eagle

(Other definitions for eagle that I've seen before include "Score of two strokes under par for a golf hole" , "Symbolic American bird" , "Coin made of gold" , "experts are putting more than albatross?" , "drugs with silver left inside" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
