We report on the detection of a population of Red Clump ( RC ) stars probably associated with the recently discovered stellar system Boötes III .
The RC is identified as a 3 \sigma peak in the Luminosity Function ( LF ) of colour-selected stars extracted from the SDSS database .
The peak is consistently detected in the g,r,i and z LFs at the expected luminosity of a typical RC at the distance of Boötes III .
Moreover the stars around the LF peak show a maximum of surface density nearly coincident with the reported center of the system .
Assuming that the detected feature is the genuine RC of Boötes III , we find that the system has the HB morphology typical of old and metal-poor dwarf spheroidals , it has an integrated magnitude M _ { V } \simeq - 5.8 \pm 0.5 and an ellipticity \epsilon \sim 0.5 , quite typical of the recently identified new class of very faint dwarf galaxies .
