Frog ID

[Barrett]

Hey guys and gals, need help identifying this poor little guy. He was on the side of the road, covered in ants, was barely alive and died shortly after. I'm in Pottsville (Northern Rivers), NSW.





It's colours had a metallic shimmer to them and doesn't seem to be the same as the rocket frogs that are everywhere around here.

Looks like a Striped Marsh Frog, Limnodynastes peronii
I am basing this on body shape, size, colour, pattern/markings and the absence of webbing and toe pads

The metallic colour is due to exposure to heat/sun.
