ID spanish tree frogs (1 Viewer)

[Owene]

Going through my trip photos with the help of Axel Kwet's European Reptile and Amphibian Guide '(2008 new holland)

It looks like we were in an area with two different tree frog species.

This first one, taken in the woods north of Garciaz Extremadura looks like Common tree frog to me,


Whereas these (sorry for the poor photos) which were taken inside on the plains just north of Trujillo of frogs that wandered in through a gap in the wall look more like Stripleless Tree frog,

Two more angles of the second frog (there were 5 there of same species photos might not be same individual)

Looks to me like the first must be Iberian Tree Frog Hyla molleri and the second is indeed H. meridionalis (I'm hoping to see it in Menorca!).

Thanks so much Chris

My book has molleri relegated to subspecies of common (arborea). But the book was out of date on lizards so might be on frogs.

The stripeless ID is the key one anyway. So thanks. Hope you see it

Common now divided on range into Common H. arborea, Iberian H. molleri, Italian H. intermedia and Eastern H. orientalis (which we have here). Then there are Stripeless H. meridionalis and Tyrrhenian H. sarda.
