Good attempt at investigating an elusive species 🙂 However, it would probably be considered ‘rare’ rather than ‘commonly found’. Also, do note that individuals of this species found in Singapore are now recognised under a new name, Pelophryne ingeri. Named after the late Dr Robert F. Inger, an established herpetologist!: https://bioone.org/journals/Current-Herpetology/volume-38/issue-2/hsj.38.128/A-New-Species-of-Pelophryne-from-Malay-Peninsula-Anura-Bufonidae/10.5358/hsj.38.128.full?fbclid=IwAR0lOPlA79DN0XgJqUHllx8EEMlz8ifmktZwL8pvHq7FAQgR-75jnV8KaGA
