The L citropa I've seen have had less prominent bumps or were smooth on the dorsal surface and have had some visible red colouration on legs and in armpits but I will need to go back and look at my slides from the 1980's to be sure my memory isn't getting much more faulty as the years pass. I saw the tympanum to be a dirty green but I concede it is more brown than green.

A Rhinotia, but not one in the brunnea-group, which have a different shape.

Litoria daviesae occurs further north and has a green tympanum. This specimen appears a tad inland but does have a brown tympanum and unless KenT can provide any other mitigating information to the contrary it should be citropa.
