YELLOW-LEGGED SNOUTED TREE-FROG Scinax fuscovaria
The widespread and common "bathroom tree-frog" identified by yellow and black flash colours on the back of the thighs. Note the smooth skin which differentiates it from the similar Warty Snouted Tree-Frog. Like many tree-frogs this species is polychromatic - it can change colour.
