The Somali crombec (Sylvietta isabellina) is a species of African warbler, formerly placed in the family Sylviidae. It is found in Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, and Tanzania. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry shrubland.
A subspecies gaekwari described by R.B. Sharpe and named after the Maharaja of Baroda Sayajirao Gaekwad III is considered to be indistinguishable from the nominate form.[2][3]
