Dorsal rays VI + I, 9; anal rays I, 8; pectoral rays 19-21, the uppermost 5 rays forming free filaments (ie. not connected with adjoining rays by a membrane) 1st to 4th rays branch only once; tail fin with 25-32 rays; midlateral scales 30-37; predorsal scales not reaching eyes, remainder of head usually scaleless (B. l. arundelii sometimes with scales on opercle) pelvic disc eliptical, sometimes reaching to anus, its front membranes with small side lobes.

Generally light brown with several diffuse brown saddles across back; a clearly defined midlateral longitudinal row of alternating dark brown and white blotches; lower portion of head dark brown with scattered white spots; 1st dorsal fin with a clear outer edge and dark inner stripes, innermost ones darkest at rear; last of three dark blotches behind eye is much larger than 1st.
