Everyone can see the coordinates unless the taxon is threatened.
Obscured
Public coordinates shown as a random point within 10KM of the true coordinates. True coordinates are only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation.
private
Coordinates completely hidden from public maps, true coordinates only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation. Observations with private coordinates will still be used to verify place check lists.
According to Heyer and de Sá (2011), this male is Leptodactylus insularum. The only Colombian L. bolivianus would be in Leticia. The best character for separating males of these species is based on the thumb spines: L. insularum has 2 thumb spines and L. bolivianus has one.
Here is the citation for the recent revision of the L. bolivianus species group.

Hey.
Thanks for the comment, in fact some of these individuals have two spines on the thumb (I was thinking that could be a ontogenic character), actually I remember seeing some individuals with a single spine in the collection of the museum (MHUA) but I can't remember now which is the origin of these guys whit one thumb spine. Let me review the article and some individuals.
The data quality assessment is a summary of an observation's accuracy. All
observations start as "casual" grade, and achieve
"research" grade when
the iNat community agrees with the observer's ID, where an "agreeing"
identification is one that matches exactly or is of a child taxon of the
observer's ID. For example, if Scott says it's a mammal and Ken-ichi
says it's Homo sapiens, then Ken-ichi agrees with Scott.
the observation has a date
the observation is georeferenced (i.e. has lat/lon coordinates)
the observation has a photo
Observations will revert to "casual" grade if the above conditions aren't met or
the community agrees the location doesn't looks accurate (e.g. monkeys in the middle of the ocean, hippos in office buildings, etc.)
the community agrees the organism isn't wild/naturalized (e.g. captive or cultivated by humans or intelligent space aliens)
