South American cowboy (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gaucho

'south american cowboy' is the definition.
(term for a cowboy from South America)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for gaucho that I've seen before include "Ranch hand" , "Horseman of the Pampas" , "Horseman of the S American plains" , "Cowboy of Argentine's plains" , "plainsman" .)

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