    Exquisite specimen!
    I'd guess a Hyperolius viridiflavus or Hyperolius marmoratus.
    But i can be wrong, it's hard to indentify those African frogs since there is so much similarity between species, but also a lot of difference between specimens within a species,
    then there are the different phases.....
    Just an educated guess in this case :-)
