Please help me ID this frog found near Burnaby BC.

Red legged?

[Mentat]

Does look like a Rana aurora; are legs red from underneath? Have you heard of this Frogwatch program? Sounds like a fun thing to do when enjoying frogs in the field .

You don't have too many options out there and red legged looks the most likely. The Frogwatch page that Carlos linked to also has a dichotomous key you can go through: B.C. Frogwatch Program – Environment – Province of British Columbia

Thats most defenatly a newly metamorphed Rana aroura, you
can tell by the red skin folds on its back.

It doesn't seem to have the required black mask and Burnaby is well outside of the range map for a Wood Frog. Ryan also seems confident that the red folds are a giveaway and I'm happy to defer to his Fraser Valley Frogging expertise.

Hey thanks everyone. I didn't see this conversation and Ryan informed me it was an RLF on another posting. .
