Wildlife Spotting

Lovely spotting!

Sorry my brain and fingers are not cooperating today...It is as Neil has suggested a Northern Leopard Frog. Pickerel frogs have 2 rows of squarish spots down the back.

I agree with Aaron, this is a Northern Leopard Frog. Pickerel frogs have square/rectangular blotches. The spot on the nose is not an identifying characteristic of either species. Nice spotting Jeanne!

My vote is for northern leopard frog. The dorsal blotches are small and round, like Jellis mentioned. Pickerel frogs have much bigger, blockier spots. http://www.ontarionature.org/protect/species/reptiles_and_amphibians/northern_leopard_frog.php

We need an expert opinion

And so can Leopard frogs. http://www.californiaherps.com/frogs/images/rpipiens204.jpg http://www.frogforum.net/content/leopard-frog-care-rana-pipiens-schreber-1782-r-sphenocephala-1886-131/ http://www.nps.gov/zion/naturescience/amphibians.htm

Its a Pickerel Frog, the spot on the nose is the easiest way to ID it. Very similar to a leopard frog but not the same species.

Nice picture! I agree with Leopard frog.

Yes I am sure its a leopard. The spotted phase of the Green frog has the rusty red folds but the ear drums are too big. Though I can't see them in your pic, the body shape doesn't look big enough to have them. The Pickerel has boxy shaped spots where the Leopard has rounder ones. And it's no way near the Mink frog.

Northern Leopard Frog (Lithobates pipiens) but haven't seen any with the red dorsolateral folds
