    I don't have any sort of complete field guide for this area, but that looks an awful lot like a baby Hypsiboas punctatus, a species I've seen many times in nearby Peru. If I zoom in I can see hints of the reddish spots on the back that give this species its English name "Polkadot Treefrog". Posted 8 years ago

      Fantastic, John, thank you so much. I did notice the red dots but didn't have the knowledge to connect it to this species, well appreciated! Posted 8 years ago
