____ pigeon (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

carrier

fantail

'pigeon' is the definition.
(carrier pigeon is a kind of pigeon)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for carrier that I've seen before include "Ark Royal?" , "Bag" , "Spreader of illness" , "Aircraft- - -" , "Transporter of luggage or disease" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and the Penny Press.
