Picture/word puzzle (5)

I believe the answer is:

rebus

(Other definitions for rebus that I've seen before include "Visual type of word puzzle" , "Puzzle consisting of pictures representing syllables and words" , "Word-picture puzzle" , "Pictorial pun - fictional detective" , "Ian Rankin's Scottish detective" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
