Captured (camera only) in the Tanami desert. It's not a great pic as my phones getting a bit older and he wasn't hanging around for any selfies. Silver in colour with some bright blue markings and red legs. Never seen one this color and searching online came up with nothing to id this handsome dude. I showed some local TO's and a couple said they had seen one before, but we may have lost somthing in the translation there? Anyway I was happy to see him off on his merry way, either looking for food, shelter or some company....UPDATE: Been ID as a male Archimantis quinquelobata.
