Did you look at the images on the link? They aren't all green. Green is just a name not just the color. Leopard frogs have big spots.

Hmm he is mostly brownish green with light green just around his mouth.

Green frogs can also be brown with smaller spots like this one posted and this one. http://www.virginiaherpetologicalsociety.com/amphibians/frogsandtoads/northern-green-frog/green_frog.htm

If it has a lot of green, he is a green frog, if not he is a leopard frog
