White-costumed clown (7)

I believe the answer is:

pierrot

(Other definitions for pierrot that I've seen before include "Period; incantation" , "Male clown from French pantomime" , "he's white-faced at work" , "French panto clown with whitened face" , "Sad white-faced clown" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
