I'm not sure if it applies to immature toads, but an unspotted belly usually means that it's probably a Fowler's Toad: http://www.enature.com/fieldguides/detail.asp?recnum=AR0748. Since there are only two species of toad in Maine (the other is the American Toad with a spotted belly) there's a 50/50 chance of this ID being correct!

Great spot chebeague8! I've ticked the "help me ID this species" box for you so that this will come up on the unidentified list & someone in the community can identify it for you.
