Description
The adult male frog measures about 28.0 to 31.5 mm in snout-vent length. The skin of the frog's dorsum 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.

Range & habitat
This frog lives in montane and submontane forests. Scientists do not know its breeding habits but assume it probably lays eggs in water-filled holes in trees like other frogs in Theloderma do. This frog has been observed between 266 and 1338 meters above sea level. The IUCN classifies this species as least concern of extinction. What threat it faces comes from deforestation, usually associated with agriculture. The frog's range contains many protected parks, such as Indawgyi Wildlife Sanctuary.

In human culture
Scientists named this frog pyaukkya after the Burmese language word for "camouflage" because of the frog's cryptic coloration.
