Hill Cricket Frog

Minervarya syhadrensis, the long-legged cricket frog, also called the Syhadra frog or Bombay wart frog, is a dicroglossid frog found in India, Bangladesh and Nepal at low to moderate elevations. It is the type species of the genus Minervarya. Females reach 20.7-22.8 mm in snout-vent length and males are smaller at 17.5-19.1 mm (Wikipedia, general species account).

Males call in chorus, mainly at night from after dusk to the early morning, sitting in temporary shallow pools under partly submerged grass or paddy, and keep 0.5-1 m apart. They use a single external vocal sac and start calling after one or two heavy pre-monsoon or monsoon rains in April to June, continuing to the end of the rains in September to October (Wikipedia, general species account).
