The olive water-holding frog, spotted collared frog or Daly Waters frog (Ranoidea maculosa) is a frog from Australia. Scientists have only seen it in one place in the Northern Territory, with a few on the other side of the border in Queensland. This place is called Daly Waters.[2][3][4]

This frog is 5.0 cm long. Most of the skin on its back is pale but it has very dark black marks.[4]
