Wading bird with a small head whose female is called a reeve (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ruff

(Other definitions for ruff that I've seen before include "Starched frill; fish" , "Male sandpiper" , "High tight collar" , "Trump; male shore bird" , "Jacobean neckwear" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
