Believe it or not, the Andasibe area has at least two frog species that look approximately like this. There are so many frog species in Madagascar! I am tempted to say that there are too many frog species in Madagascar, but of course that would be ridiculous.
I believe these are Boophis bottae rather than Boophis rappiodes due to the presence of at least a little brown coloration mixed in with the red.
Here is a list of all the reptiles and frogs I saw on this 2023 trip to Madagascar.
