It has olive-grey or brownish flattened carapace, head, neck and limbs but may have some indistinct pale or darker spots. The eyes are close to the snout tip and the nose is short but the head is much shorter than in Chitra. Its underside is uniformly white, sometimes with pink blotched (Das, 2010).
