Description

It was late evening, we were returning from a hike when I found something jump on the rock.

Took a closer look and it was a Toad!!
But this Toad was not familiar to me in any way, all his features were kinda new to me. The coloration matched the rock exactly!!

It just kept on hopping, never stopped until it entered a rock crevice.
Managed to get a few shots of this interesting looking Toad.

Very happy to have found a totally unfamiliar frog near Bangalore.
It seems this Toad is not very common.
Data is deficient on this species...
The pictures are rare.

Thank you Gururaja Sir for the ID help :-)
