  1. Hmm, another tricky one. Definitely looks like a treefrog, family Hylidae. Could be Dendropsophus sp., though it seems a little thick/heavy for that genus. Also looks similar morphologically to Hyloscirtus sp., though I don't know if any of them are so yellow.

    There's a fairly complete list that includes known locations, though unfortunately not photos, at https://www.batrachia.com/orden-anura/hylidae/. Photos for most species can be found at Amphibiaweb.org.

    1. Thanks John. I did check amphibiaweb but found so many kind-of matches that I gave up :) Posted 7 years ago
