Small grouse (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nit

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for nit that I've seen before include "Idiot, ass" , "Muggins" , "Stupid person; egg" , "Cause of much head-scratching" , "Parasite's egg made of tin" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
