It could be a ton of things! Color is the last thing to rely on when it comes to amphibians. If they are cold, their color tends to be darker. Some normally bright green frogs are a dark red/brown when cold. Then it could also be the camera or flash like you mentioned

On the other hand it could have been the flash giving a bit too much light, hence the greyish appearance. The band in and over the face is perfectly the same, so I think I will take over your ID-suggestion. Thanks a lot!

Thank you very much Ashley! I was thinking of this one, just the colour doesn't fit. It says mahogany on the back. And mine is more dark grey on the back. But the colour of the band fits. Would it just be a slight colour variation?
