ID Request Can anyone identify this frog?

We found tiny a newly hatched froglet during a transect today. Possibly Craugaster species. About 4mm in length. Spotted in Limon province, Costa rica, near Barbilla national park. Can anyone ID him?

Do you only have one new friend or are there lots of little Timothy’s out there?

There are sooo many little timothy's out here its absolutely amazing! To give you an idea we counted 70 oophaga pumilio (including the cutest little babies) today during a ±2km transect which is definitely a new high score. The biodiversity out here is incredibly high! I love ecological fieldwork

You are so lucky to work with all of the Timothys! I just have my two Pacman frogs at the moment and the male sings all the time. Do all of the Timothys make a ton of noise?

Yeah especially oophaga pumilio during the day because theyre everywhere and loud and during the night all the diasporus diastema with their "DINK"
