A lot of Afrixalus look alike that's why they are so difficult to identify.
Discription of A.fornasini from Amphibiaweb:
Quote:
About half the specimens in northern populations (Tanzania and Kenya) have the entire dorsum silverish white. Upper side of tibia white.

Googled images of A.fornasini(i):

Nice one, they do look spot on. All the A.fornasini I searched had an additional lateral stripe down the dorsal white colouring...Cool

Thanks Pete and Andrew.

Well from a dull brown nondescript looking frog to a nice white frog he is a little stunner in my view. Either way brown or white he is a charecter and will remain one of my favourite frogs.
