Description
This is a warbler similar in size to a willow warbler. The adult has an unstreaked brown back and buff underparts. There is a very long prominent whitish supercilium, and the pointed bill is thicker than that of the similar dusky warbler. The legs are paler than dusky's, and the feet look large, reflecting the more terrestrial lifestyle of this warbler. The sexes are identical, as with most warblers, but young birds are yellower below. The call is a soft chick.

It also frequents the vegetated areas along streams, swamps, and rivers. During migration, radde's Warbler is found in swampy regions, river valleys with shrubbery, and reedy or sedgy ditches.
