Tree frog in the leaf litter, perhaps confused

This is probably the most widespread and common frog in Sri Lanka. Mostly I saw them on the walls of houses and lodges and outdoor bathrooms, but occasionally there was one in the actual forest.

The Indian Tree Frog

''Polypedates maculatus'', the Himalayan tree frog or Chunam tree frog, is a common species of tree frog found in South Asia. It was described by John Edward Gray in 1830.

The northwestern subspecies ''P. m. himalayensis'' was formerly considered a separate species. ''Polypedates leucomystax'', a very similar species, was formerly included in ''P. maculatus''.
