This is the ubiquitous smoky jungle frog. One of the reasons they are so often spotted in tropical rainforests is their size. They are huge frogs, about 7 inches in length and quite girth-y. I photographed this one in the northern Peruvian Amazon basin. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 500, f/8 at 1/200th of a second, Godox flash.

It looks like your amphibian is guarding its tiny plant in the foreground. Very nice!
Ha, yes, I wasn’t about to mess with this guy. They are massive frogs.
“He” has beautiful markings!
I agree Lesley.
