Although we have those in Michigan, they do not come this far north (although this is probably something out of its range). Blanchard's that I have found tend to have 'warty' bumps on their skin and a conspicuous triangle between the eyes (I know that cannot be seen here, but this specimen lacked such hallmarks). Thanks though!

Hard to tell from the photos but it may be Acris crepitans blanchardi?
