Chunam Tree Frog

The Indian tree frog, or chunam tree frog, is a common tree frog of South Asia, with a body about 7 to 8cm long. It is mostly brownish, yellowish, greyish or whitish above, with darker spots or markings and sometimes an hourglass-shaped figure on the back of the head and front of the back. The back of the thighs has round yellow spots, usually separated by a dark-brown or purplish network (Wikipedia, general species account).

The snout is pointed with a rounded tip, the canthus rostralis is distinct and the loral region is concave. Its call is a sudden short, rapid series of rattling notes, and the frogs may use day roosts regularly. It is widespread through Bhutan, India, Nepal and Sri Lanka and western and southern Bangladesh. The Himalayan tree frog was for a time treated as a subspecies of it.
