This could well be a Mantella pulchra x madagascarensis/baroni hybrid in my opinion... It is entirely possible and new colourations and confer species are found all the time out in Madagascar.

Without DNA and genetic testing, I don't think you'll know for sure! But I can definitely say that this is crtainly and most definitely not, Mantella pulchra (pictured below). It doesn't share any of the same colourations, especially on the front of the snout which your individual has markings on, except for the limbs that have a slight colouration.



I would be very dubious about putting this with other individuals, if this is indeed a hybrid specimen which it could be completely possible, then it could muck up potential bloodlines.
I asked whether it may be a hybrid on Facebook, but the point was largely ignored so I dropped it. Only problem is, so far as I'm aware M. pulchra is only sympatric with M. baroni, not M. madagascariensis. As this specimen shows no signs of being a baroni, if it is a hybrid it would be between pulchra and madagascariensis. Therefore it is either CBB and a hybrid or WC and a madagascariensis.
