Hi, I found this frog in mi yard (Venezuela) and I need some help to identify it. Thanks you guys so much!

Wow, Its got the most gorgeous eyes. It looks very similar to the Gladiator tree frog (Hyla rosenbergi). Im only going by a photo that Ive seen. Some one here will know what your frog is. Sorry i cant be of more help.

Thanks guys!

It's a Hylid, most likely of the genus Hypsiboas (formerly Hyla). As I don't have any field guides for Venezuela, I will have to do a search and get back to you for a positive ID.

After looking around I am going to second Justin's ID of Hypsiboas crepitans (Wied-Neuwied, 1824). I know of no common name for this species. Here is a call for this species.

You're welcome Kurt. Hey Kurt, don't these usually have a dark stripe down the back?
