The northern leopard frog is a fairly large species of frog, reaching about {{Convert|11|cm|in|abbr=on}} in snout-to-vent length. It varies from green to brown in [[Dorsum (biology)|dorsal]] color, with large, dark, circular spots on its back, sides, and legs.<ref name="NLF Details">[https://web.archive.org/web/20100203142339/http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/amphibians/northern-leopard-frog/ Northern Leopard Frog ''Rana pipiens''], National Geographic. Retrieved 2015-03-28</ref> Each spot is normally bordered by a lighter ring. A pair of dorsolateral folds starting from the back of the eye runs parallel to each other down the back. These dorsolateral folds are often lighter or occasionally pinkish in colour. Also, a pale stripe runs from the nostril, under the eye and [[tympanum (zoology)|tympanum]], terminating at the shoulder. The [[ventral]] surface is white or pale green. The iris is golden and toes are webbed.

[[Tadpole]]s are dark brown or grey, with light blotches on the underside. The tail is pale tan.
