Pedant, fusspot (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stickler

This clue is a double definition.

'pedant' is the first definition.
(a pedant is a stickler for detail)

'fusspot' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for stickler that I've seen before include "One who insists on something, like punctuality" , "Pernickety person" , "Nit-picker" , "Trickles for someone who insists" , "Someone fastidious" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
