Real pic could be copy (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

replica

'copy' is the definition.
(I know that replica is a type of copy)

'real pic could be' is the wordplay.
'could be' indicates an anagram.
'real'+'pic'='realpic'
'realpic' is an anagram of 'REPLICA'.

(Other definitions for replica that I've seen before include "Parcel I found with exact copy" , "Reproduction, exact copy" , "Parcel I used to contain exact copy" , "Facsimile" , "I parcel (anag) - reproduction" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
