Nice series, lots of angles to help ID this one. Very similar to P. cerasinus that Ashley mentioned. The disticnt tubercle above the eyes sets these apart.

Look at other pictures on Google too. They are quite variable. Eye color matches, thigh color matches, body shape/tubercules match. Everything but size. But see what you think.

Around the same size as a red-eyed tree frog, maybe a tiny bit smaller.

Anyone recognize this frog? The only one I could find with red markings, was Tlalocohyla loquax, but the markings on the back were not the same. This one seems more striped.
