Someone trying to be clever (informal) (6,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bright spark

(Other definitions for bright spark that I've seen before include "Someone who appears (irritatingly?) clever" , "Clever person" , "ironically, one that's witty" , "One full of ideas" , "Lively and clever individual" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
