Split hairs (7)

I think it could be either:

quibble

nitpick

'split hairs' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for quibble that I've seen before include "Trivial objection" , "Niggle" , "Nit-pick" , "Make trivial objections" , "Petty complaint" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Sunday Times, The Guardian and the Newsday.
