Semnodactylus wealii
All descriptions I found for this frog say they are dark gray/silver, with longitudinal stripes and bright yellow feet. I'm not sure why this guy is more yellow with orange feet, I can't find any pictures that looks like him. Either way, he is very beautiful :)
It is found in Lesotho, South Africa, and Swaziland. Its natural habitats are Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation, temperate grassland, swamps, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marshes, freshwater springs, pastureland, water storage areas, and ponds.
"This species occurs in southern and eastern South Africa, Swaziland and Lesotho. It is only known from one record in Lesotho but presumably is more widespread in this country. It occurs from sea level up to 1,700m asl."
Lat: -24.35, Long: 30.95

Thanks Patty! You would think it runs based on its name, but it actually moves really slow. Which is why I was able to get these "action" shots...since he was barely moving haha :)
Fantastic spotting Ashley! The colors and patterns of this frog are simply amazing. Does it run to? Greetings and happy new year.
Thanks :)
This really deserves SOTD again!! Amazing and ridiculously well framed.
