Pristimantis ridens
—
Pygmy Robber Frog
Also known as:
Pygmy Rain Frog



This little Pristimantis species is relatively easy to identify by its small size, raised nostrils that give its snout a "three-lobed" look, warty tubercles on the upper eyelids, and reddish thighs (slightly visible in the second photo here).
