    I agree, it's a dwarf male.

    As babies Giants have a blue tint on their front and hind legs.

    That bright Dorsal stripe on your juvi here is a dead giveaway though. Giants tend to have jagged edges to their dorsal stripe and it is normally green where yours is more uniform. Skull structure is also different.

    Another way to tell a Dwarf from a Giant is the distance from the eye to its Tympanum(ear). Giants have a distance of which 1.5 to 2 of the frog's eyes could fit between and Dwarf distance is only 1 eye width apart. Dwarf's Tympanum will also sport a white spot in the center of the tympanum.
