  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 10 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 10 years ago
      1. Thank you so much! Remarkable how its surroundings change the color appearance. Posted 10 years ago
