At every new photo my thoughts on what this little guy could be changes! But I agree with Ashley and Heather, it's either Bullfrog or Green frog now. Even so, I can't wait to see him as he grows up he already looks like he's got an interesting coloration happening!

Thank you all! Here's some update photos!
Updated photos!
So, after looking at Tad closely, I'm thinking that he must just be some kind of frog that was not in the tadpole packet. I think he might be a southern chorus frog (see pic: http://www.virginiaherpetologicalsoc...%20Frog%29.jpg)
What do you guys think? Anyone have experience with this kind of frog?
Your tadpole had dorsal eyes so it can't be a Southern Chorus Frog. It still looks like a Green frog or a Bullfrog to me. I can't tell for sure from your pictures if it has the dorsolateral ridges or not but they should be visible at this stage and actually even earlier. Attached is a photo of a Green Frog, Rana clamitans, note the ridges down the back/side (the colour and pattern can vary quite a bit within this species).
I'm still betting on Green Frog or Bullfrog. Either way, he is very cute !
Brian's right, I second him on that it's not a Chorus frog. If your little guy was a Southern Chorus frog, though, I could give you some basic advice on how to care for a similar species, the Pacific Chorus frog. There's actually a caresheet for Pacific Chorus frogs (Pseudacris Regilla) on here! However, I doubt you'll need it.
Brian has definitely given you excellent advice and help on how to identify your little guy. Can't wait to see some more photos of him
