Yellow peril indicator (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

canary

This clue is a double definition.

'yellow' is the first definition.
(I know that canary is a type of yellow)

'peril indicator' is the second definition.
(as in a canary in a mine)

(Other definitions for canary that I've seen before include "Type of finch" , "Caged song bird" , "grass" , "Bright yellow bird" , "a sort of finch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
