let us know
let us know what you hear about this one. I don't know of Neophylax with a head pattern like this.

 
oligius (?)
Isn't the pale stripe on the head a distiguishing trait of this species? (cf. here and here)

 
could be
could be oligius although the ones I have seen (which are not many) have a more consistent dark head pattern. Went back and re-read Rich Vineyard's larval description and he also mentions a variant with the pale central stripe.

I'm dropping off a batch of specimens this week to Don, so hopefully this can be identified.
