Sour hand misbehaving in country (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

honduras

'country' is the definition.
(Honduras is an example)

'sour hand misbehaving' is the wordplay.
'misbehaving' indicates anagramming the letters.
'sour'+'hand'='sourhand'
'sourhand' is an anagram of 'HONDURAS'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for honduras that I've seen before include "Central American republic" , "US hadron in Central America, strangely" , "Central US country" , "Country of Central America" , "Central Amer. country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
