Looks to me like a washed out photo of a Blue Jeans that happens to have a high % of blue. Whatever it is, it's a gorgeous specimen.

If its a bj....im gonna start praying my breeding pairs throw one at me lije this one.

possibly an escudo?

 

[cairo11]

well I couldnt save pic to my computer as I am sure theres other ways to get the link on here but I am just lazy.....but this frog is actually a very bright orange and blue. almost looks like a granny. as it shows it was taken in costa rica. although I do know someone who one of his bj pairs threw out a 90% orange froglet....which sadly at a year old escaped and dried out on him. but it was just an awesome frog and truly unique. but this one has granny pattern but I cant really see any granulation

When looking at that link, I think I can see some granulation on the lower back in the original picture you posted, though it doesn't seem very well defined. It said the photo was taken in Sarapiqui, Heredia, CR in 2009. In the photograph before it, there is a similar looking frog but it's skin looks smoother with fine black dots on the back to me.
Cool looking frog.

I looked at Oophaga pumilio Morphguide and it looks very much like Oophaga pumilio 'Sarapiqui'. Given that the Flickr link says that's where the picture was taken, I think there's a good chance that's the morph.

Yeah I think that's one of the CR BJ's with the colors enhanced by the flash or an editing program. Some of mine are patterned like that but not bright pink and electric blue

 

[sports_doc]

Agreed.

One of the CR "blue jeans" [which has got to be a silly name, us calling all red/blue frogs from CR, and we really need to have location/population name]

and a bad photoshop increase in color saturation...

the real frog I imagine looked nothing like that

 

[rbrock]

Well whatever it is it is beautiful.

Definitely O. pumilio...but whether it's Costa Rican or Nicaraguan (or if that even matters...just not enough info out there) is impossible to say: http://www.dendroboard.com/forum/members-frogs-vivariums/55630-nicaraguan-pumilio.html
