Streak (6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

stripe

smudge

'streak' is the definition.
(I know that streak can be written as stripe)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for stripe that I've seen before include "Distinctive band" , "Sign of a soldier's rank" , "Band of contrasting colour" , "Streak" , "Chevron; band" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
