Sort of pink bird confronting tiny daughter (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chickweed

'sort of pink' is the definition.
(chickweed is a pink plant)

'bird confronting tiny daughter' is the wordplay.
'bird' becomes 'chick' (chick is a kind of bird).
'confronting' says to put letters next to each other.
'tiny' becomes 'wee' (I've seen this before).
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'chick'+'wee'+'d'='CHICKWEED'

(Another definition for chickweed that I've seen is " Plant that may grow on lawn".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
