One person offering a similar view to another (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lookalike

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

'one person' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'a similar view to another' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
'similar' could be 'like' (synonyms) and 'like' is found in the answer.
'view' could be 'look' (I've seen this before) and 'look' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'offering' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lookalike that I've seen before include "Copy" , "Double" , "twin?" , "Doppelganger" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
