Darker tympanum contrasts with lighter loreal region. Prominent green to bronze mid-dorsal stripe extends from the snout or from between the eyes to the cloaca. Back covered in prominent dark tubercles arranged either in lines or irregularly. Dorsal colour varies from green to bronze sometimes with darker patches. A clearly demarked line with a black lower margin runs from the nostril through the eye, above the tympanum and then along the dorso-lateral margin to the groin. In the dorso-lateral region its upper margin is enhanced by prominent cream to white tubercles. Flanks with prominent cream or white coloured coarse granules in upper half. Colour pattern of limbs is a continuation of dorsal colour and pattern, leading edge of lower leg with prominent black margin. Back of thighs awash with emerald green to blue, moderately granular proximally with few to moderate numbers of prominent light coloured tubercles. Belly and chin cream or white, undersurfaces of limbs either cream or with light green flush, with dark patches. Groin regions with similar pattern and colour to back of thigh or less frequently with yellow spots with black outline, particularly tableland populations in the east of the species range.
