Red-eyed tree frog and either Ichthyostega or Acanthostega shadowing it
as portrayed in tiles on the walls of the NYC uptown subway stop (A-B-C)
at 81st and Central Park West. (ISO, no zoom, no flash).

You can't go wrong with the title "Residence time and food contact time effects on transfer of Salmonella
Typhimurium from tile, wood and carpet: testing the five-second rule." And it only gets better.
Your hint is that 81st and Central Park West is the subway stop for the Museum of Natural History.
The 'shadow' looks vaguely reminiscent of some reconstructions I've seen of Ichthyostega or perhaps Tiktaalik?
I'm thinking either Ichthyostega or Acanthostega.
the mosaic is older than our knowledge of Tiktaalik, so it has to either be Ichthyostega or Acanthostega.
