what morph do you think this is?

Will let you know what it was sold to me as and what I think it is after a few responses.

Thanks

hard to tell without any locality data, it can be La fume, Matecho or even a regina

 

[guppygal]

looks like a male Matecho ~

 

[wesleybrouwer]

I think this one is a nikita

 

[Taron]

I'm going to go with a Matecho.....but I guess it could even be a Giant Orange? I don't see any of the blue patterns that they have though....

Looks male mateko to me.

 

[Frogman8]

I'm going with a metecho , looks exactly like mine ( bj's) line

 

[Frogman8]

Sorry for the spelling ,I phones suck ( matecho)

 

[wesleybrouwer]

Never seen matecho with the black dot on the back, though,
i don't know if we use the same name giving for the different morphs either.

This looks like the 'Yellowback / Saül' morph on tropical experience

EDIT:

OK I take it back . Someone said Nikita and I second that motion. Yes, that is my final answer.

 

[JL-Exotics]

looks like a typical matecho to me.

 

[GregF]

So what was it sold to you as???

 

[billschwinn]

Sure looks like a nice Yellowback.

I don't think it's a Nikita, since those have very little/ no yellow on the legs. I'm guessing either a matecho or giant orange/regina, but you can't reliably be absolutely sure just from a visual guess.

that is def not a nikita nor a citronella

 

[FrogNick]

ok was sold to me as a le fumme but it wasn't the orginal breeder who i bought it off. i sure its a male matcheo (has called) i have got a la fumme and it's alot more orange. see pic below. Also you can get matcheos with a spot even if both the parents dont have them bit like cints...

 

[Julio]

do you suplement your frogs with any color enhancer? your matecho seems a little orange as well and not yellow

 

[DendroRachel]

i have got a la fumme and it's alot more orange. see pic below. A

Julio - I think FrogNick's pic is of another frog which is a la fumme for sure - showing how it is a lot more orange than it is yellow. I think he's using its orange color to support his questioning of the first frog being a la fumme also (since its yellow, not orange like the second shown frog which is a for sure la fumme)

(sorry so wordy / awkwardly explained)

This seems really tough, at first glance i thought Matecho, Matecho, Matecho, Then I read all the posts to see what other said, and saw what it was sold to you as, I saw Yellowback and i almost agreed that it could be yellowback, but ive never seen a yellowback with that much yellow on the legs, but still doesn't mean that its not. As for the La Fume, i don't know much about this morph at all but what from what I saw from a quick bit of research I didn't see any with as much yellow as the one u originally posted. Again that doesn't mean that its not a La fume, My yellowback parents look like Saul, and they throw some that look like saul and some that are a "High Yellow". I think you need to find the original breeder of this frog, go see the parents and get to the bottom of it, because right now Im saying it could be Matecho, Yellowback, Regina, La Fume. I wouldnt go off as much of a color thing Orange/Yellow , because some give there tads lots of color enhancers some dont, With my personal experience with that is with citronella, if I dont give them any enhancers as tads, they morph out a very pale yellow, as opposed to when i do feed enhancers they come out Bright Lemon Yellow

Here is a very similar La Fume:
