This is the only back pattern for parinsignifera but signifera can also have this lyrate pattern. The only surefire way of being sure is to hear the call or have a look at its belly. Seeing as how you already had it in your hand that would have been a great help. Was the belly granular grey or marble black and creamish white? Any additional info would be useful for a confidant id.

Adding to the above you can put it in a plastic bag and then easily turn it over to see the pattern on the underside. You might find that they call more frequently at night time, as they can be silent during the day. The call of parinsignifera is a bit like a squeaky boot "reeee" repeated every 2 seconds or so, while signifera has a series of creaking calls "rick rick rick rick" repeated quickly.

This was an photo taken in 2013 before my involvement with CNM, so I don't have any other information I can add unfortunately. Thanks for the tips about looking at the belly for the future. Happy to remove the sighting or mark as inconclusive.

No leave it in the system. It's still a useful record for Crinia sp. and who knows, it may be confirmed one way or the other by some future technique.
