Given the back colour and what appears to be a dark lateral band, plus a lack of enlarged glands or tubercles and a particularly sharp snout, it appears to be a Red-backed Toadlet (Pseudophryne coriacea). They only get to 5 or 6 cm in total length and have a white underside to their belly and legs that is distinctly marbled with black or grey patches.
 
it had no webbed toe's i could see (if that helps?),yeah thats sounds like it, it did have a dark band on both sides, well that's a first for me
Thanks
