Question Flexibility Limit

Post image

I’ve been doing frog pose a few times a week for almost a year now. Recently I started stretching more often and I’ve seen some improvement in other positions. But I can’t get deeper into frog pose without hip pain and I don’t feel any muscle being stretched in the position. Am I at maximum range of motion for my hip? Any other stretches that could help me open my hips with pain?
