There are "lighter" cobolts that were quite common 5 - 7 years ago, that have light yellow or almost white color on the dorsal surfaces. My male cobalt is from this time (7 years old) and he shows this light coloration on his back and head. I think the reason that you do not see them much anymore is that in recent years people started supplementing to get the deeper yellows in any animals that show this trait. That being said, the cobalts always have the cobalt blue legs, even if the yellow is faded. In the pic that started this thread the legs look too light, but not quite light enough for patricias. It is also not light enough or show the leg spotting that a powder blue does. My guess is that it looks most like a patricia but again there is no spotting on the legs.
How old is this frog? Please do not say who you got it from (it will lock the thread!!!) But were they a reputable breeder or hobbyist? If so it could just be a light or odd colored variation of a cobalt.
