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.

Regards
