Fantastic shot of a rare pink morph! Usually they are yellow, I just posted the same species but from Suriname. I agree with it being A. hoogmoedi.

This is another Atelopus sp supposedly extinct, the photograph I did in 1987, and make it digital,
so thats why the bad resolution.
I love the genus of frog.
Great picture

Spotting of the Day!

"The Harlequin frog represents a disappearing lineage of brightly-colored neotropical amphibians. They are a rare, undescribed species and science knows very little about them."
