Hello I've recently purchased 2 Pyxicephalus (1 I'm not sure what species to be exact while the other one I'm pretty sure its a Pyxicephalus Adspersus), I need help in identifying this guy, for the sex I'm sure it's a male since he has tried humping the smaller one (picture shown below), but which Pyxicephalus species is he?
I'd help please, some picts of him (Note: I took these pictures with flash camera during late hours, without flash his color is dark green and there's no visible line along his back):
Large head, he's 5.5 inches SVL:

No visible line, picture was taken without flash camera, notice he tried to mate with the smaller one, his eyes are horizontal and his color is dark green shown here:

Deep yellow underside color, any advice on healing the rubbing on the snout would be really appreciated:

A guy I know from facebook suggests he may be Pyxicephalus Edulis based on the frog's overall deep yellow underside color, I've done some research over Pyxicephalus species & I've kept Pyxicephalus Edulis before but what confuse me the most is it looks pretty much different from this one, so what is he? Pyxicephalus Obbianus or Angusticeps or just stunted Aspersus perhaps? What do you guys think?

Now here's the smaller one, I'm pretty sure its a Pyxicephalus Adspersus but not sure about its gender:
Head size in proportion to its body and visible line along its back, picture was taken with flash camera, it's 4.5 inches SVL:

Snout, throat, and underside coloration:

Is it a male or female?

Any inputs & suggestions would be extremely helpful and appreciated
Anyone?
Giant and a boy 99% sure
Colour is not a great indication of sex, I've seen lots of boys with no yellow or reds under the arms or on the belly. Head to body ratio and lots of experience is the give away for me
