Wild canine similar to a coyote (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

jackal

(Other definitions for jackal that I've seen before include "The Day of the - (Forsyth)" , "Carrion-eating mammal" , "Dog-like carnivore" , "Promote extravagantly" , "Canine animal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
