Crossword Genius

Rogue able to hurt bird (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bluethroat

'bird' is the definition.
(bluethroat is a kind of bird)

'rogue able to hurt' is the wordplay.
'rogue' indicates an anagram (letters go rogue).
'able'+'to'+'hurt'='abletohurt'
'abletohurt' anagrammed gives 'BLUETHROAT'.

(Another definition for bluethroat that I've seen is " Bird".)
