The red coloring on top of body with almost clear underbelly covered with black spots, and has frog like eyes.

Notes:

I know for sure that this guys a salamander but I'm not so sure of what specific type; after looking on the Internet I believe he may be either a red salamander for a cave salamander but I'm still not entirely for sure . I found this little guy underneath a block of wood and in wet mudd near a creek in the woods.
