The upper parts are light brown with darker markings, the flank is yellowish and the underside pinkish.

The species is most similar to Xenophrys auralensis and Xenophrys major but can be distinguished from the former by the smaller size of the male and the presence of teeth on the vomer and from the latter by lacking a pale stripe above the mouth and having a patterned (as opposed to plain) eyelid.

[2] Xenophrys lekaguli occurs near cascade streams in hilly evergreen and evergreen-bamboo mixed forests at elevations of 600–1,290 m (1,970–4,230 ft) above sea level.

They can be typically found on boulders, leaf litter or bare soil within 20 m (66 ft) from the stream banks.

It is threatened by habitat loss and modification caused by (selective) logging and agriculture.
