Toy with a string and a tail (4)

I believe the answer is:

kite

(Other definitions for kite that I've seen before include "Bird of prey - light, wind-borne structure" , "Wind-borne toy" , "Bird (that can be flown!)" , "It flies with string attached" , "Child's toy; bird of prey" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
