The attached photo shows a frog seen in February near Iriri (GPS point:30.939, -7.210).
I assume that it is a North African Water Frog (Pelophylax saharicus), but it seems to be at the extreme edge of colouring; no greens at all, no vertebral line.
If so, is this colouring a result of habitat/temperature stress?
Many thanks
