Upper layer of forest foliage (6)

I believe the answer is:

canopy

(Other definitions for canopy that I've seen before include "Overhead covering, on bed or throne say" , "Covering over four-poster, etc" , "Cloth covering" , "Pay Con badly for the covering" , "Cockpit cover" .)

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