Platymantis pelewensis, Palau

April 2010. A frog was intercepted by quarantine officers in the cargo area at Palau International Airport. Can anyone help with the identification of this species?

The photos were sent to the Australian Museum, and Jodi Rowley had this to say about them: Looks like a Platymantis, and there’s a single native frog to Palau – Platymantis pelewensis.
