Relative of an ostrich or emu (4)

I believe the answer is:

rhea

(Other definitions for rhea that I've seen before include "Small 'ostrich'" , "Ostrich-like bird - satellite of Saturn" , "New World flightless bird" , "nonflyer" , "Large S. American bird" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
