I found an photographed a whole stack of these Arthroleptis in Ongoye, including their feet! After close examination, and advice from James Harvey, we decided that they were Bushsqueakers. At first, I thought they were perhaps Shovel-footed Squeakers. |

There is some work being done on these, so I've heard. It could perhaps be a subspecies, we'll have to wait and see. |

Enlarged third-finger is also a good pointer for it being an Arthroleptis. |
