Spot star (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pip

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'spot' is the first definition.
(both can mean a small amount)

'star' is the second definition.
(star on a military uniform)

(Other definitions for pip that I've seen before include "Palindromic fruit seed" , "Dickensian hero" , "Greenwich time signal" , "Small hard seed" , "tiny bit of fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
