Scinax caprarius, the Canastra snouted tree frog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to sub-Andean hills in Colombia. Scientists have seen it between 900 and 1300 meters above sea level, in areas with 2800 to 5000 mm of annual rainfall.[1][2]

The adult frog measures 28.6 to 31.1 mm long in snout-vent length. The male frog's advertisement call resembles a goat's bleat.[3]
