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.

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.

Clearly the two species are replacements and very similar in appearance but we still have the distribution problem. L. daviesae only comes as far south as Barrington Tops. Unless further investigation reveals information contrary to what we know now, it has to be citropa. Both species are probably highly variable in colour and skin structure and according to Anstis, citropa can have smooth or finely granular dorsal skin. Happy to stand corrected if further information comes to light.
