Comment:   Probably Ptychadena subpunctata, but I would not be comfortable assigning it to a specific species without clearer photogrpahs and photographs of the thigh patterning.

Comment:   P. subpunctata have clearly two defined lines below vent and speckled belly. Neither is visible in this photo to make an ID. Bu gut says it P. mascareniensis. But can't be sure
