It looks like a juvenile Powder Blue. If its an adult it could be an Oelemari.

If it's really yellow, it might be some sort of cobalt. However, the pic does look like an Olemarie or Oyapok. However, the nice blue netting on the legs is really cool. I'd check with wherever you got them to find out what they are. Size and age should help us tell what they really are, and I'm by no means an expert on the tinc. morphs. You might want to check out www.fantasticfrogs.com and check their frog pics to compare. A google image search for tinctorius morph would probably help as well.

Looks like a powderblue to me.....one with darker blue coloration in the legs. Get some more info on it from the breeder. Pretty frog!

"The pic doesnt show the yellow areas of this frog properly" If the bright white lines in the picture are really yellow then I think its probably a Surinam Cobalt or Dwarf French Guiana. Its hard to tell though if the colors in the picture don't actually represent the colors of your frog. The general pattern that your frog has is found in many forms of tinctorius. You should call the dealer you purchased it from and ask them. Also, the blue in the picture looks too blue to be a powder blue.

That was my thought exactly. Well said. It's funny that you can find cobalts that are so darkly colored yellow and others which appear to be a light butter color.

yeah, 2 different variations. I have some of each. One of my tincs is nearly solid yellow and the others I have, only show yellow between the eyes and the backs are lined with cream.
