Crossword Genius

Organ for each redhead (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ear

'organ' is the definition.
(the ear is an organ)

'each redhead' is the wordplay.
'each' becomes 'ea' (abbreviation).
'redhead' becomes 'r' (the head letter of red).
'ea'+'r'='EAR'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ear that I've seen before include "one hears" , "Bit of corn" , "cut" , "Hearing aid?" , "Aural organ" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
