Osteocephalus carri is a frog in the family Hylidae endemic to Colombia. It has been found in the Amazon lowlands and lower parts of the Andes mountains. [1] [2] Scientists have seen it as high as 700 meters above sea level. [3]

Scientists used to consider this the same species as Osteocephalus buckleyi , but observation of tadpoles showed them to differ considerably. [3]
