No way near being a toad. Definite Pickerel Frog like the others said

I think this may be a Pickerel Frog: http://wwwnew.towson.edu/herpetology/amphibians/Rana%20palustris.htm http://www.dnr.state.md.us/wildlife/Plants_Wildlife/herps/Anura/PickerelFrog.asp

Looks like Southern Leopard Frog (Rana sphenocephala). The only other frog that looks similar is the Pickerel Frog, i would check both out since you are the Spotter and therefore the expert!
