Looks like an American Green Tree Frog.Florida Wildlife Extension at UF/IFAS Cubans don't have the green strip, plus Cubans snout area is much wider. Let her go back outside and hope a Cuban doesn't eat her.

Agree with Gail! If thinking of keeping it; will grow to around 2.5 in. and require a tall enclosure; 18 in. min but 24 in. better (something like ExoTerra Small Medium or Small Tall). Good luck!
Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog!
I just measured and its just shy of 3". The size and rough skin are what was puzzling me. There's plenty of squirrel frogs, grey frogs, American tree frogs, barking tree frogs etc around here. I was almost leaning towards an unspotted barking tree frog. It's so big! None of the other frogs that I have seen around here (north florida) normally come close in size except Cubans and barking. I have seen the occasional American tree frog that is 2-2.5" but their skin is usually smooth and the line on their side is usually very defined and straight.
I'm still thinking AGTF. Here's a pic of my female aside yours, and mine's not even a year old yet.

3" seems too big to be pure American Green, it also seems too fat for this usually pretty slender looking species. They will hybridize with Barking Treefrogs at yours could very well be an 'in-betweener'.
I would love to hear it call if it's a male. I'm thinkin' it's a keeper!!

A call could be helpfull- I've read that the call of a hybrid American Green and Barker will have an intermediate sounding call. That might help determine if it's a hybrid or just a pure Barking treefrog (the spots seem optional on a Barker, so I wouldn't rule this out).
