A red-crowned brood frog, Pseudophryne australis, has been voted Project Noah’s spotting of the week!
Spotted by Ciaran Nagle in a pool outside of Sydney, Australia, this small frog is a species of the Australian ground frog. The range of this frog is confined to the Sydney Basin and its conservation status is officially listed as Vulnerable.
The mark of this species is the bright orange t-shaped triangle on its head. This triangle matches the same orange-colored stripe on its lower back.
Tadpoles develop mostly inside their egg. After heavy rain, the eggs hatch and tadpoles complete their development in rain-filled temporary pools.

Nice shot and a great looking species.
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
