The question is, how can you tell the difference of Litoria xanthomera (orange thighed frog) and red eyes when your colour blind!! well you can tell the males by their call, dainty's grow half the size of red eyes and orange thighed's (which are a northern form of red eye) L. chloris (red eyes) are found more south of the other two, though they overlap.

L. Chloris have blue inner thighs (red eye), eyes can also be yellowish, orange

Might be a bit late for that, its an old thread.

Both dainties and red eyes can have blue thighs, most red eyes don't though.

Jason,

Most of the wild chloris i have caught and swabbed have had blue thighs

Every dainty it have caught and swabbed having had a maroon top of the thigh

Without a better pic gracilenta, chloris or xanthomera cannot be ruled out

Cheers,

There's a pic of a blue thighed Dainty in Marions book "Tadpoles of South Eastern Australia" from the Bellingen area.

definately a dainty!

In red-eyed tree frogs the green colour extends down each limb and includeds the outer digit. In dainties the hands and feet are all yellow.
