The adult male frog measures about 9.1–25.5 mm in snout-vent length and the adult female frog about 15.4–29.8 mm. The adult male frog and adult female frog show visible sexual dimorphism in their coloration. The skin of the adult female frog's dorsum is dark in color with light patterns and black stripes from the eardrum to the groin. There are black stripes on the front and hind legs. The middle of the body is cream-white in color and yellow-orange nearer to the legs. The skin of the adult male frog's back is dark brown in color with black stripes from the eardrum to groin. The front legs are dark in color with no stripes. The back legs have spots. The middle of the body is cream-white in color. The adult male frog has a tubercule spike on his arm bone.

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Ghate's Bush Frog sighting in Pune on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 3rd most-seen of the 5 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July and October
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Ghate's Bush Frog in Pune on a given day, against under 5% in April–June, September and November–February, the lowest months. Those are among Pune's wettest months, with about 310 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ghate's Bush Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Pune, in our data
Pune is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Ghate's Bush Frog sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ghate's Bush Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Pune (12 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
