Note sure if this is the correct part of the forum for ID help, if not please pardon the error; this specimen was on a trail in Michigan, in June; it is about 15-20mm from nose to tail; I couldn't capture it for better photos because I didn't have a container with me and it was quite an evasive little guy anyway and might have been injured trying to capture it. I am not sure if it is an immature specimen or a full grown adult; it does not match any of the photos I found on line regarding Michigan frog or toad species. I hope someone can help; thanks in advance.

Because of the multi warts in the spots I'm gonna say Fowler's (Bufo fowleri)
Rest in peace Rosie 5-31-12

Like Gail stated, the multiple warts point to Anaxyrus fowleri. A. fowleri has been reported from Michigan, so that matches too. Strangely, the toad on OP's pic is missing the characteristic middle dorsal light color stripe.
Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog!
I noticed the same thing in all the photos of adult A. fowleri, the line down the back. The pattern of spots/warts does seem to match but the adults did not seem to have the brighter orange that this specimen had. I also overturned a rotting log later that same day in a wooded area and came across another specimen that looked very similar but my photos were out of focus so I can't confirm the 2 were the same.
