He came in with a shipment of Suriname Clown Tree Frogs, anyone know what he is? I'm guessing some type of Hyperolius?

Yeah, probably east african, tanzanian.
Pretty sure you are right.....looks like a reed. Maybe marmoratus or argus. I know that they are quite variable. I think stem is spot on, most of the reeds are exported from Tanzania. Beautiful frog though.

It may be a whacked out punticulatus, or closely allied species, or "morph", Hyperolids are really hard.... Cool-looking frog. It should have come in with similarily marked frogs? Why did it come in with a South american set of frogs? Is this to a petshop or something? Thanks, JVK
Hope they are not trying to pass this off as a 'Giraffe' clown frog from Suriname!..

It was from an importers warehouse. They just had a shipment of arrow reed frogs from Tanzania, but he was somehow mixed in with the Suriname clown tree frogs.
It's a Hyperolius puncticulatus some have wild looking patterns.
Here a couple of Hyperolius puncticulatus that look similar.
