Crossword Genius

See sprain affected winger (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

passerine

'winger' is the definition.
(passerine is a kind of bird)

'see sprain affected' is the wordplay.
'affected' is an anagram indicator.
'see'+'sprain'='seesprain'
'seesprain' with letters rearranged gives 'PASSERINE'.

(Other definitions for passerine that I've seen before include "Sort of bird" , "Like the majority of birds, with feet for perching" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
