  1. I can see that the feet are strongly webbed, can't tell about the hands. That should be a good clue. Checking out Glaw & Vences now. Posted 9 years ago
    1. I can also see small supraocular spines, and an angled dorsolateral ridge (behind the eye, slanting back towards the vertebral line). I'm pretty sure this is Mantidactlyus (Gephyromantis) luteus. Posted 9 years ago
      1. Thank you so much! Remarkable how its surroundings change the color appearance. Posted 9 years ago
