    Sorry meant Kurt not Paul.

    I don't want to sound like a smart *** know it all but those pics of the leptopelis natalensis are incorrect. Not all of those are Forest Tree frogs, the are all leptopelis but only a few pics are natalensis. The first pic in the row is actually the Long Toes Tree Frog (Leptopelis xenodactylus) and the brown one is the Brown Back Tree Frog (Leptopelis mossambicus). The second one on the bottom row look like it could be more far north, perhaps Angola or Cameroon but not too clued up on the localities of African species.

    The reed frogs are amazing, you can tell there localities based on colouration, the angolan species is stunning it looks like the white one with spekles in the bottom row of the file and the ones from Madagascar are even more stunning!

    Its OK, Paul is my father's name, for a second I thought you were addressing him. LOL

    As far as incorrect pictures, it wouldn't be the first time I found the wrong pictures on the wrong page at CalPhotos. Most of the time they are dead on, but not always. I think the mistakes are made by the submitter's.
