Any help please with the last one?

Kind of Diving Bird G?R?E

Many thanx in advance

[Rollo]

Grebe - check your R.

[liverpoolfoo]

Rollo many thanx 4 your help the answer which gives me the R is for An arrival after specified time. I have LATECOMER

[Rollo]

Sorry, but not have the Xword I can't check the other crossing answers.

[liverpoolfoo]

Rollo the clues & answers i have are as follows

Imperial measure of beer (Ans) Half Pint L
?
Entire (Ans) Whole T
?
Sailing Boats (Ans) Yachts C
?
Deprive of courage (Ans) Unman M
?
Kind of diving bird (Ans) Grebe E

I can nly think that the ans may be LATECOMEE if there's such a word. Many thanx for any more help you may be able to offer

[Rollo]

The bird could be a MURRE, but then the G would be wrong.

[liverpoolfoo]

The G is definitely right the clue for it is Aston Villa Forward Ashley Young. thanx for taking the time with your help

[Rollo]

I have looked and I can't find LATECOMEE as a proper word.

So, I'm stumped.

[liverpoolfoo]

Many thanx once again Rollo & like you i'm also stumped & thanx for your time
