These guys are super variable! They can be anywhere from light, solid gray (like your other one) mottled gray/green (like this one), or solid green. No matter what color, they will always have a white patch below the eye and yellow thighs. You have so, so many cool frogs in your area, especially tree frogs, I hope you are able to go out and find a bunch of different species when spring comes back around!
