    An Indiana small brown frog with an eye mask is most likely a Wood Frog .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    I'm also going to have to disagree with Wood Frog. It doesn't look like it has the mask to me (but the picture isn't 100% clear here as the right side of the face is in shadow), it appears to be greenish, and the spots look more like a leopard frogs (especially on the back).

    There are 3 kinds of leopards in Indiana, clearer pictures from different angles might help determine if it's one of them. Since it was hopping around a petstore (I think?), we shouldn't rule out a foreigner either.

    Not a wood frog. I have two that I have bred last year (Psychotic's Album: Wood Frogs). Their coloration runs from light brown (almost pink for females during breeding season) to a rust color. They pretty much have no pattern on the body. Just stripes on the back legs and a bold mask from the nose back to the ears.

    It is hard to tell from the picture and the frog looks very dry. Give him a large bowl of dechlorinated water to swim around in if he wants. He should brighten up and maybe see his pattern better.

    I was thinking he is one of the leopard frogs. He looks dry and dark so it's hard to see what pattern he has. His nose seems a bit too pointed to be a green frog. However it may just be from the angle the picture was taken.

    More pictures from different angles would help.
