Odorrana chloronota (chloronate huia frog or copper-cheeked frog) is a species of frog in the family Ranidae that is found in Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, and possibly Bangladesh and Nepal.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, and rivers. It is not considered threatened by the IUCN. Another variety of frog which has recently been discovered at Arunachal Pradesh in India and closely resembles the O chloronota is named as Odorana arunachalensis due to the black stripes on its eyes.
O. chloronota from Tai Po Kau, Hong Kong.
