    Hi, I don't know what it is but did it eat any of those crickets in the photo? Because it looks really skinny.
    Good luck with I.Ding it.

    It looks like a baby bullfrog. I keep and breed both regular and albino bullfrogs. I also keep northern green frogs which look similar except they have a ridge on both sides that go all the way down the back. However bullfrogs lack that ridge. They do have a little ridge behind the eyes over the ear. From those pictures I say bullfrog.

    Edit to add that bullfrogs also have bigger eyes and a more rounded nose. Most green frogs keep their pattern however a lot of bullfrogs will lose the spots and striped legs as they age. There is no way to tell if your frog will keeps it's pattern or not.

    Also I agree that baby is way too skinny. Babies need to eat everyday. Only feed insects that are as wide as the with of the mouth or the space between the eyes.

    The ridge is there and visible in the second picture. It goes partways down the back which is enough to make it a Green frog, with an outside shot at being a Mink frog. Though the leg pattern makes Green more likely.

    I can see the ridge better now that I'm on my computer and not my little laptop. It also appears to have a messed up nose. It could be a northern green frog.

    Here's one of my juvies:


    Here's the same frog as an adult:
