The Cricket Warbler is a pale, long-tailed bird of the Sahel. It lives in dry acacia scrub and savanna, often in pairs or small family groups.
It has a long tail, pale reddish-brown upperparts, and cream underparts. Adult males have a strongly striped black-and-white crown and pale eyebrow; the female's head markings are weaker.
It lives in pairs or small family groups, moving quickly through low bushes and grasses and searching for insects in vegetation and on the ground.
