Ya done good, dear Gato!

It must have been a difficult shot to take as the milk frog is only about two inches long.

You posted a tree frog and I know nothing about them, so I had to look them up!

....the ones we have here in costa rica with a common name of milk frog have a scientific name of Phrynohyas venulosa. they are actually quite large for tree frogs.....the one i photographed was about 4 inches long and i have seen even bigger ones. fairly easy frog to photograph....they sit pretty still.
