The adult male frog is 19-23 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 22-30 mm. The skin of the frog's back is brown in color, and its belly has dark brown color on it. The frogs in this species can look different from each other. They can be light brown, pale, green, or yellow. Scientists say this is to make the frog harder to see.[3]
