Agreed. Also, flooded meadows are very much dalmatina terrain and hardly ever that of graeca.

No. Still dalmatina. As Jeroen pointed out it's not the right habitat. Also if you find big numbers of small froglets at the same place it is almost certain they came from the same brood/clutch hence the same species. It is unlikely that you'd get a mixed "flock" of two or more species that metamorphosed at exactly the same time and place. Eardrum is irrelevant for ID in such small individuals. Proportions of the babies of pretty much every living thing including humans is very different from adults. It's like using the leg length for ID in such a small frog.
