Found under fallen palm fronds during a climb of El Yunque.
I found 3 quite different looking frogs during this climb, but after a bit of home research I think they are all this one species. From what I've read, this species displays quite a wide range of colour variation and this identification is a best guess for the locality and general description.
If you think it could be something else, please let me know.
Calling during rains amongst the leaf litter in a cocoa plantation, El Yunque.

Heard calling and then found in the leaf litter, within Alejandro de Humboldt National Park.

Found within the leaf litter near a cocoa plantation during a climb of El Yunque.
Plenty of these came out at night in the grassy areas around the village.
Sadly, aside from a Cuban tree frog, this invasive species was the first amphibian we found.
Britain's 'other' toad, found in the species sandy heath habitat.
I was fortunate to have three separate individuals hop right across the path during a night walk.
A young grass snake that hissed dramatically the whole time I took photos. Found in the Lea Valley Park, Hertfordshire.
A very feisty grass snake about to dive into a heather bush on Thursley common in Surrey.
The first of our 'lucky four' smooth snakes that we found on various Dorset heaths. This one was basking right in the middle of the small trail we were on.
The second smooth snake (of four) that we were lucky enough to find on various heaths near Poole in Dorset. This one was on the move and I just got a couple of shots before it disappeared into dense heather.
I heard these calling a lot from low vegetation as we climbed up through the cloud forest zone towards Mt. Kinabalu basecamp.
This was taken at about 2500m.
Unfortunately I only got one shot, so it may not be possible to get a definite identification from this, I thought it was a juvenile?
It was found near a forest stream within Kinabalu National Park, at approximately 1585m above sea level.
There were a lot of these calling from the forest floor near a forest stream within Kinabalu National Park, at approximately 1585m above sea level.
These were quite common and calling noisily from vegetation next to, or overhanging, a forest stream within Kinabalu National Park, at approximately 1585m above sea level.
Found next to a forest stream in Kinabalu National Park, at approximately 1585m above sea level.
I found quite a lot of these in small flows of water running into a forest stream within Kinabalu National Park, at approximately 1585m above sea level.
Found within a rotting log, next to a forest stream, in Kinabalu National Park, at approximately 1585m above sea level.
Hiding within a rotting log on the forest floor, next to a forest stream, in Kinabalu National Park. I found it because its call was quite different from any of the other frogs I'd heard in the area, which made me more detirmined to locate its hiding spot.
At approximately 1500m above sea level.
