This individual of
Rana zhenhaiensis was found in Northwestern Jiangxi during daytime in late March. It looks like a typical
Rana species recognized before, having a brown overall coloration and a dark ear patch. This species was firstly discovered in Zhen Hai which is a district in Zhejiang Province. It indeed has a much broader distribution which covers most part of Southeast China. It is mainly found in agricultural fields during breeding season.

From the distribution map is it possible to find it in HK?
I have just checked the IUCN Redlist and found that it is uncertain to be present in Hong Kong and Macau, though it's a very common species in Central and Southern China.
