This small treefrog came out at night on the plants right along the edge of the Madre Selva camp clearing. They look a lot like a slightly more interesting version of Dendropsophus leali.
Here is a complete list of the herps I saw in the wild on my 2014 MT Amazon Expeditions trip.

The most easily seen distinctive mark on this species is the pair of white marks between the eye and the upper lip. Other closely related species have only a single white mark, or no white marks.
My Travelogues and Trip Lists page includes a complete list of the herps I saw in the wild on my 2016 MT Amazon Expeditions trip.
