"Rana boylii sierrae Camp. or foothill yellow-legged frog is found mostly in rivers and riverbanks, hiding around the rocks or emerges for sunlight. Ashton et al. writes that the species is morphologically identified in about 37.2 - 82.0 mm adult size, with dark and light gray dorsal color with some brown or red spots, much vague in the juvenile appearance. It is described that Rana boylii has "rough skin, inconspicuous tympanum, horizontal pupils, fully webbed hind feet, poorly developed dorsal lateral folds, lack of dorsal stripe, and lack of black eye mask."
