Toucan, curious about this cutie I found a frog: Centrolene daidaleum of the Cochranella granulosa group, it looks very much like your spotting.
Hope it helps, regards, Gilma

I thought it was C. granulosa due to the granular skin, white upper lip in the first picture and head shape. The white upper lip may just be a glare from the camera flash. Actually looking at the third picture and the lateral profile of the snout, it appears to more closely resemble C. spinosa. You may be right.

Thanks, Aleja, Jellyfishnebula, 1cbt08, and Patty! Brendan: I also thought that it was Cochranella granulosa. But I found a picture of Cochranella spinosa and it made me change my mind:

Would be nice to get an ID. My spotting of a clear glass frog have totally different eyes. BrendanSmith started an ID, worth checking!!

Great find Toucan. I can't see the belly or a clear view of the dorsal area but my guess is Granular glass frog (Cochranella granulosa).

Beautiful bright green glass frog!! And this ones are unfortunatelly vulnerable species. I am glad you could spot one and take such a magnificent picture to share!!!! It deserves to be spotting of the day as the other cute frog; great spottings and pictures. Greetings =)
As the rhyme says:
"One little speckled frog sitting,
Sitting on a speckled log,
Eating the most delicious bugs,
Yum, yum.
He jumped into the pool,
Where it was nice and cool! "
