I have a new baby frog in my collection I found yesterday while herping. It is very small,dark green,stripes on the legs,lightly spotted with tiny black spots raised white ridges down the sides,and a milky white belly and throat. The eyes are bronze. It was hiding under a rock in a shallow rocky streambed. It looks to me like a baby rana catesbeiana or rana clamitans. I would think that baby bull frogs would be much bigger as this little guy (or gal) is tiny,about an inch. I know it is not a lithobates sphenocephalus/palustris or any kind of tree frog. Whatever it is, he or she has newly metamorphosed. It still has a stub of tail. It has eaten a pinhead cricket and is not overly skittish. I am in southern Indiana if that helps to ID this baby. Thanks for any help.
1 Acrantophis dumerili
1 Lithobates palustris
