Found in rainforest - I have a slowmotion video of the frog jumping, it released water as it jumped. Approx 50mm in length.
I am not 100% about my idea, but would be excited if correct!

Ah ok, fair enough! I’ve added one more photo taken on my phone without flash (the first 3 were taken with flash).
It’s colour was very different from the last Lesueuri that I had found, is this a gender variance?

@WattaWanderer - your observation of squirting whilst jumping behaviour sounds very interesting. I'd love to see it if possible. Have you shown it to an expert yet?
