The adult male frog is about 28.0 to 31.5 mm long from nose to rear end. The skin of the frog's back is creamy or white in color. There are dark brown marks near its eyes. The toes of the front feet are red in color with tiny gold marks.[3]
Name
Scientists named this frog pyaukkya after the Burmese language word for "camouflage." This is because the frog's colors make it hard to see.[3]
