This is NOT a tree frog at all. It is called Eleutherodactylus johnstonei, common name is Lesser Antillean frog or Whistling frog. Not native to Jamaica either, but introduced from the Lesser Antilles in the 1800's. TRUE Jamaican tree frogs belong to the genus Osteopilus and are MUCH larger and make a very different vocalization. Not every frog up off de ground mek dem tree frog, see mi a seh? The Jamaican laughing frog (Osteopilus brunneus) is the most common hylid in JA.
