Sample of Buffalo Bill's pelt (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lob

'pelt' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'sample of buffalo bill's' is the wordplay.
'sample of' says the answer is hidden in the clue (I've seen this in other clues).
'LOB' is hidden in the letters of 'buffalo bills'.

(Other definitions for lob that I've seen before include "Chuck" , "Shot of Murray" , "Toss" , "Pollack" , "Throw a slow, high ball" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
