Pendant fleshy lobe at the back of the soft palate (5)

I believe the answer is:

uvula

(Other definitions for uvula that I've seen before include "Mouthpiece" , "Flap hanging in back of throat" , "Fleshy part of the palate" , "Flap at the back of the soft palate" , "Fleshy projection hanging from roof of mouth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
