Hyperolius pictus Ahl, 1931
This is a medium-sized Hyperolius with short legs and variable dorsal patterns. Individuals may be brown with cream or green canthal, dorsolateral and middorsal stripes. Green spots may be present on the arms and legs. Some individuals may be green without brown markings. The ventral surface and insides of the legs are yellow. Juveniles are typically brown with three green dorsal stripes. There is a small amount of webbing on the fingers. Toes are approximately ½ webbed (Text Harper et al., 2010).
Some individuals have color patterns similar to morphs of H. minutissimus (Harper et al., 2010).
Males and females are 23–31 mm in snout-vent length (Harper et al., 2010).
It is found within high elevation grasslands (1400–2000 m). It tolerates a moderate degree of habitat modification and can be found in some agricultural areas (Text from Harper et al., 2010).
It breeds in streams and permanent and temporary pools. Females lay groups of 60–90 eggs on vegetation above water (Text from Harper et al., 2010).
