Swagger like a blackbird (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crow

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'swagger' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'a blackbird' is the second definition.
(crow blackbird is a kind of blackbird)

'like' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for crow that I've seen before include "Large black bird" , "Make sound of cock - bird" , "Bird - birdcall" , "Native American -- bird" , "Bird in 1's poems" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
