OK, I think I misjudged what Kurt was asking. Telling the calls apart is not very easy, except if both frogs are present calling at the same time. You're best to go by location unless you have a recording of the call.

What I meant is, if you caught it yourself, then you would know where you caught it and you could use a field guide to figure what species you have. Example - if I caught a gray treefrog in my back yard, I would know it was H. versicolor, because that is the only species of gray treefrog here in New England.
If its male and you happen to hear it call, then maybe you could identify it, providing you know what one or the other sounds like. I do believe I search of the internet can provide some help here. If not there are CD's for sale.
Of course if you bought in a store and the frog never sings, well then its a big mystery.

We found it in Ontario .. I can search up more specific locations later xD

I haven't heard him sing in soooo long, but If I heard it I could probably tell that it was him. My sister could also probably tell, too.
thank you guys so much for your help, by the way. and I have been filling up his dish with dechlorinated water. :3 should we clean out the dead crickets?

Clean out the dead crickets!

I found this page - it should help as far as the call is concerned.

Range maps in both the Audubon and Peterson's field guide include both species in the the range map with no distinction of their different ranges.

The Hyla versicolor is what our gray treefrog is, I think.
I listened to the calls and that sounds soooo much like him.

and I'll be sure to get the dead crickets out of there sooner or later.

[Kurt]

Sooner not later. Hyla versicolor are the coolest!

Hello Mrkrabs and welcome to the forum! I have a Gray Tree Frog myself...though I'm not sure which of the 2 species he is....(He was found in Oklahoma)...I have heard his call before...but it happened when I was asleep and was woke up by him. If somebody had some sound clips of the 2 species...maybe I could indentify his species type.
