Just hoping someone can confirm whether or not this is a Southern Brown Tree Frog. It was found in a bag of mulch but I don't know where the mulch came from. He's about 25mm long.

It could either be L. ewingii, L. paraewingi or L/ verreauxii, but impossible to tell from that image
 
OK thanks very much. It has yellow/orange inner thighs. The book I'm using for reference distinguishes L.ewingii from L.verreauxii by dark spots in the groin of the latter and I haven't noticed any on my frog. It seems to be doing well and has put on some weight in the 2 weeks that I've had it.


This is him when I brought him home

Not all verreauxii have black spots in the groin, toe pad width can be of assistance, but without known locality it isvery hard to sep paraewingii from ewingii

Cheers
