Page I’m rewriting about winger (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

magpie

'winger' is the definition.
(magpie is a kind of bird)

'page im rewriting' is the wordplay.
'rewriting' is an anagram indicator.
'page'+'im'='pageim'
'pageim' is an anagram of 'MAGPIE'.

'about' is the link.

(Other definitions for magpie that I've seen before include "Black and white bird, may be thieving" , "Bird of the crow family" , "Long-tailed crow" , "Common bird" , "Part of target" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
