They usually hav= e at least a few red spots on the dorsal skin, which are visible in your pho= to. This is my own photo of a closer view of a young toad which gives a bet= ter view of the red spots. I looked at a group of photos of toadlets using g= oogle image search and see some leg striping and variation in colour, so tha= t may be pretty normal.
