I'm not that good at these frogs yet, so I can't sctually sex the one in the picture.
But I know that the males have something called "post axillary subdermal gland" behind every armpit. It looks like a small bumb that can be white or pinkish in color.
Females have a cloaca between their legs.

Check out this site for more info

It actually might be easier if you get a pic of the frog from the top. The cloaca of the female is very prominent if you look from above.
But you can only tell if the frog is mature.

Nevermind my pervious post.
