Looks like a golden dart frog.

I know but it is about a quarter of the size and is definately a strawberry.

Dendrobates pumilio is one of the most variable of all dart frog species (probably of all frogs) - the classic red-and-blue is only one morph - there are green forms, yellow forms, spotty forms...

You can vaguely see the dark spots on the back.

It's a particularly yellow male individual of "Bastimentos"

Is it a naturally occuring morph?

Yes, more info here: Strawberry Poison-dart Frog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(as well a reminder that 'Dendrobates pumilio' is out-of-date, and I should have said 'Oophaga pumilio' - bad taxonomy nerd!)
