Rhacophorus appendiculatus
Not 100% sure, but the best match I could find to this Frog is Frilled Tree Frog - Rhacophorus appendiculatus. Picture shows a couple in amplexus. The Frilled Tree Frog is a small species of lowland freshwater swamp forests. During rainy periods it can be heard calling from the lower branches of trees and saplings, about 2 metres above ground. Its call is an attractive 'peep, peep'. Like most tree frogs it builds a foam nest containing its eggs. This is suspended above small pools and puddles on flooded forest floors. Upon hatching, or during heavy rain, the tadpoles drop or are washed into these shallow pools where they complete the final stages of their development. The dorsal surface is mottled green or brown, and the ventral surface pale. A distinctive feature are the frills of skin which adorn the outer margin of its hind limbs. The eyes are large and the iris horizontal.
The Frilled Tree Frog ranges from Indochina (?) through Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia to Sumatra, Borneo and parts of the Philippines. It is absent in Singapore.
