    The frog has a clearly defined interorbital bar (this is the line on top of the head connecting both eyes). This is a definitive characteristic of the dwarf ABF, since the "giant" does not have this feature. I am 99.9% sure that it is a dwarf pyxie (Pyxicephalus edulis).

    This one also looks like Edulis to me though. I know I am not an expert on these frogs but this one seems to have the interorbital bar as well and has the white on the tympanum and the distance from the tympanum to the eye looks to be the same as the diameter of the eye...

    Hey Sherry I've been noticing that to after bringing him/her home I noticed the interorbital bar as you've stated above. =/ I will love the Pixie the same but I was looking for a male GABF since I can't get them here in Saskatchewan I took a risk and well it didn't pan out to well. The good thing is I learned a lot from this though, now I just need a GABF hope I can get one somehow.
