Description
The adult male frog measures about 35.2–38.2 mm in snout-vent length and the adult female frog about 48.6 mm. The skin of the dorsum can be dark yellow-brown to light green in color on the back and sides. It has light brown spots that are dark yellow-brown on the edges. Frogs that live in grass tend to be greener than those that live in mud. The belly is cream-white with gray marks. The sides of the legs can be light red-white with gray marks. The insides of the back legs are white with brown spots. There are round disks on the toes for climbing.
