Small biting fly (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gnat

'small biting fly' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for gnat that I've seen before include "Sucker (if female)" , "Something that bites" , "Tiny biting insect" , "Biting pest" , "Insect often hovering over stagnant water" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and The Guardian.
