And a pretty wild guess at that! The peering over the edge of something at you is a very tree froggy pose. A toadlet stays on the ground 'cos it lacks those big suckery pads on the finger and toe tips that enable climbing on vertical surfaces. And the cross in the pupil makes it a peronii, which is the species most commonly seen round houses in these parts. They like to use downpipes and tanks as echo chambers to make their calls carry further.

Yeah, probably been hanging out somewhere relatively moist around your house, like under flowerpots or in whatever bits of the garden you are still watering. We have some that live in bits of poly pipe which you'd think would get intolerably hot in the daytime. Come to think of it I haven't heard them call from there for a few weeks now, so maybe they have moved into their summer quarters under the tank.
