Well I didn't get any photos to determine the foot webbing, so I guess I'll have to leave it unknown or wait for a herpetologist who might know how to ID it another way.

If I remember this correctly, the size of it varies between male and female.

The eardrum looks a bit too small to be a pig frog. I don't know how variable that can be though.

It looks like it is a small Bull Frog or Pig Frog. A good way to tell the difference is the back feet. Pig Frog toes are fully webbed. Bull Frogs don't have webbing on the last joint of the longest toe.
