Outback runner (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emu

'outback runner' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for emu that I've seen before include "Long-necked bird" , "that doesn't get off the ground" , "Hull's character" , "Extinct bird" , "it'll never fly!" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, the Universal, the King Feature Syndicate and The Wall Street Journal.
