So different coloring and that dorsal line! Is it sexual dimorphism? Posted 9 months ago

  I think it's sexual dimorphism, age, and general individual variability. Happens a lot with many tropical frogs. Sometimes years later it turned out to be a species complex and then split into several species.
  
  For this reason I typically verify my proposed frog IDs in some FB groups, it's sorely needed.
  
  One thing I learned is that typically, the back pattern is of least interest. Experts look at the shape of the nose, eyes and the type of feet. Posted 9 months ago
