    There doesn't appear to be a distinct light patch under the eyes in your picture? This would rule out a Gray treefrog,but maybe everyone else is seeing something I'm not.

    Here's a list of Florida treefrogs Identifying Florida's Treefrogs

    Cuban or pine woods seem possible, but I'm not really familiar with either. Do you have any other pictures, or a guess on how large it is?

    I meant how large was the frog and do you have any other pictures that show different characteristics? If the frog is large enough then we could say for sure it was a Cuban (note the Pine Woods is pretty small, 1-1.5"). Other features could be helpful, like if you have a shot with it's toepads visible- a Cuban has noticeably larger pads than the Florida natives.

    That's the way I was leaning, also based on the skull shape. More information would be handy. Or someone with more experience with Florida's frogs. The habitat might also be a clue, I know Cubans are all over man made stuff, but I don't know one way or the other if this is ever the case for the Pine Woods?

    After looking at the list of the florida frogs, I'd guess Pine Wood Tree Frog as well. Just guessing though based off of those pictures.

    You're right Brian. It lacks the light patch beneath the eye. The ridge coming from the eye to snout is wrong too. Looks closer to a Pine Wood.

    Wow! They do resemble a Gray though.

    EDIT; Good call.

    EDIT; Also in the OP's pic the frog has its eyes shut and is sleeping.
