Identification

Note the horizontal pupil, lack of distinct parotoid glands, lack of distinct dorsolateral folds, enlarged toe tips, and fairly average tympanic membrane. -Craig Pemberton 00:55, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Based strictly on location, it must belong to one of the following families:

• Sooglossidae found in the Western Ghats
• Bufonidae very cosmopolitan, found in all areas of India
• Microhylidae, specifically Melanobatrachinae and Microhylinae
• Micrixalidae
• Ranixalidae
• Petropedetidae, seems to live only South Africa, hard to tell from my source
• Dicroglossidae redirects to Ranidae?
• Rhacophoridae
• Nyctibatrachidae redirects to Ranidae?
• Ranidae

Hopefully that narrows it down a little. -Craig Pemberton 00:23, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Not Sooglossidae since there is only one species present in India (Nasikabatrachus) which looks different. -Craig Pemberton 00:28, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Of the toads, it must be one of these, although the toe pads indicate to my amateur eye that the individual is not a toad. -Craig Pemberton

• • Adenomus
  • Ansonia
  • Bufo
  • Duttaphrynus
  • Pseudepidalea no page so who knows where these are from
  • Ingerophrynus

Micrixalus saxicola looks superficially similar and is in the area. List_of_amphibians_of_India may help. -Craig Pemberton 01:23, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Indirana looks like a promising group. Take a look at [this].
