What do you think? Fits the description... but I am far from an expert.

Thanks,
Tom Anderson

I think you must be right. I couldn't find anything that matches it perfectly. The legs are very long and spindlely(sp?) compared to other clowns I've seen. But, it is too similar to color pattern of Hyla triangulum to be anything else.

This site has several pics of the variable clown and the solid color one definelty reminds me of your picture. I believe you are correct, it is H. triangulum

Also...look on the same site and see the Hyla sp. unidentified species. It is absolutely your other frog. So, at least you know it's a Hyla treefrog and appears it may be an undescribed/not yet named species?

You might drop an email to Justin Yeager at

He studies Ecuadorian fgrogs. I don't know him but he probably could positively id the frog.

John
