Adult males measure {{convert|15|-|21|mm|abbr=on}} and females {{convert|18|-|22|mm|abbr=on}} in snout–vent length. The snout is bluntly rounded when viewed from above but truncate when viewed laterally. The eyes are moderately large. In males, the tympanum is hidden whereas it is visible in females. The dorsum and the sides are tan, mottled with dark brown or black. Females are generally lighter than most males. The venter is dark gray, peppered with light gray. The iris is bronze.[2]
