Recognises, we're told, from part of the Identikit (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nose

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'part of the identikit' is the definition.
'nose' can be an answer for 'part' (nose is a kind of part). I am not sure about the 'of the identikit' bit.

'recognises we're told from' is the wordplay.
'recognises' becomes 'knows' (know can mean to recognise someone).
'we're told' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'from' becomes 'e' (I've seen this in other clues).
'knows' is a homophone of 'nos'.
'nos'+'e'='NOSE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nose that I've seen before include "Hooter" , "Olfactory organ" , "Grass" , "Organ of smell" , "Organ of face" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
