Wally has choice split hairs (3-4)
I believe the answer is:
nit-pick
'split hairs' is the definition.
(both can mean to be pedantic)
'wally has choice' is the wordplay.
'wally' becomes 'nit ' (I've seen this before).
'has' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'choice' becomes 'pick' (synonyms).
'nit'+'pick'='NIT-PICK'
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
