Agalychnis spurelli
The closest I got was the Gliding Tree Frog (Agalychnis spurrelli), but this one was smaller (about 3cm long) and doesn't have fully webbed toes. The Gliding Tree Frog is described as changing colour from pale to dark green for the night, my spotting is rather brown, but it has some pale green under the eyes. The orange underside would fit the description. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliding_tr...

Amazing colours especially the green under the eyes.
Thank you for the nomination, Daniele.
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 Felix!
Thank you, much appreciated!
Superb.. love that last shot.
Indeed! Thanks, Bhagya.
too cute...
Thanks Ashley, I'll change the info.
Your ID is correct. The only other tree frogs there with red eyes and vertical pupils have different color flanks. He should get more webbing as he gets bigger. Cute little guy!
Will do, thanks for the tip, Daniele.
Felix, in case it helps getting an ID you may want to add this spotting to the following mission:

Thank you Pradeep.
Nice series great spotting!
..and Nick.
Thank you very much, Jim.
Great photography, Felix...well done.
Awesome
Thanks triggsturner, I've spent considerable time trying to ID this guy. No clear results yet, though.
Can't help with ID Felix but lovely images. Hope you get to the bottom of it.
Yeah, finely granulated.
Was the skin on the belly granular?
the green under the eye hints towards the gliding tree frog.I know that the process of changing from yellow to white,in crab spiders, takes quite a few hours.
