Description
33 mm long, brown to green on dorsal surface, 3 broken dorsal stripes which can be distinctive or faint,
A dark band across the eye and continuing down the side, slightly enlarged toe pads to help in climbing small grasses and vegetation. Very similar to the Western Chorus Frog (Pseudacris triseriata).  Can be distinguished from this species by having shorter legs. "Wikipedia"
