Tadpole ID? D.C. Area U.S., pics

[Tadtholemew]

Thank you for the wonderful advice! I'm going to try to get him some food tomorrow. He's also being a little more friendly. I held him today for a little while, and put him on his rock. I was really excited. Here's an updated picture:

I also think we're down to bronze frog/green frog, bull frog, or something else...maybe pig frog, I guess, but I think southern Leopard and Pickerell are both out for sure!

I can't really see clearly. Try to get a close up picture of him. Especially his back. If he has ridges he most likely is a green frog (the ridges will go from behind the eye all the way to his tail). If his back is completely smooth (no ridges) then he's most likely a bullfrog. I'd give him a few more days to completely absorb his tail and lose his tadpole look. He will get a little thinner and have a more froggy shaped body if that makes sense. That's when you should be able to really see ridges if he has any.

Pig frogs and bronze frogs are more southern species.
