Of course! I look at frogs all day long so only seeing a back still works for me :) And if you look at the site I provided in the link, they have range maps for both Gray and Cope's Gray that are distinguished by genetics since they are visually impossible to tell apart. Most of the SE only has Cope's Gray :)

Thanks, Ashley! I see them around my house but had not seen one in a wooded area; I was going to ID it as a tree frog but then doubted it. Appreciate your help!
