Hi David.  Thank you for your comment.  The fish does look a bit like Phyllophryne scortea but there are differences with the dorsal fins.  What is even more obvious is the red tips to the pectoral, soft dorsal and caudal fins.  A specimen of this new species is being examined by colleagues at the University of Washington.

I'm looking at Phyllophryne scortea(local provenance) in all these images,I suspect strongly.
