Silly bidding war for rail, for example (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
wading bird
'rail for example' is the definition.
(rail is a kind of wading bird)
'silly bidding war' is the wordplay.
'silly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'bidding'+'war'='biddingwar'
'biddingwar' anagrammed gives 'WADING BIRD'.
'for' is the link.
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
