Field Notes

Description:

Medium sized frog about 6-8cm long all curled up. Quite distinctive two tone colouration. Sort of liquid amber underbelly and legs with tiny white spots (spines?). Top of head, full back, and upper leg is a light beige, also speckled with tiny spots of darker colour.

Habitat:

Seen in very urban back yard, on the side of the building in inland Kawe.

Notes:

I think this is Fornasini... but not absolutely certain.
