The Hyla leucophyllata(under a diff. genus now) Is the clown tree frog. Most frogs you find in the tropics don't have a common name because there are so many, and we know very little about their habits and biology. The more a frog becomes studied, or is in the pet trade is when they acquire a common name.

Interesting shots! One really caught my eye among them all --- the horned frog, Ceratophrys cornuta. I've never seen one looking so dark like that before, and I immediately thought it might instead be one of the large, mysterious species like C. dorsata that no one ever sees in the U.S. Well, it is probably cornuta, just a cool, darker one than my range of experience has come across. Even this 'common' species is seldom posted on anyone's photo trips to the Amazon, so it's still an interesting find to me. May I inquire about the habitat, and even microhabitat of the situation in which you found it?

They are quite easy to spot at night, when you look for them by eyeshine. They were found anywhere that wasn't too close to water. They are found in areas with lots of leaf litter (pretty much anywhere). We found some near bases of large trees, as they don't move very often, and when they do, not very far, so it takes them a while to get around a large buttress root. We found a few juveniles on the trails themselves, but that wasn't very common. That's definitely C. cornuta, the only horned frog in the area, they can be bright green, or dark like that.
