What you found was a beautiful little Microhylid frog, sometimes referred to as a 'Common Oval Frog', Elachistocleis ovalis. Nice find!

Re: Amphibian I found in Panama
Cool record. Looking at this site, it appears to have a very limited (or poorly known) range in Panama.
It would be great if you could document this record (and any others!!) in Herpmapper Database. There are NO records of this species in the database so far and a record from Panama is certainly worth documenting.

I found 2 in the space of 100 feet in field no real water at the moment as we are in a dry spell right now I thought they might be on the move to wetter areas, there is usually a brook but it has dried up.

If you have trouble uploading to Herpmapper, the best way to get help is to post a question on their FB page.
