frog identification

[cyris69]

Frog found in Indianapolis, Indiana. Was at a local petco and not in their inventory was wondering around the shop.

looks somewhat like a leopard frog of some sort, not too sure.

Definitely a frog of the Rana family of some sort. I agree with Ryan on that it looks like a Leopard frog, but it's coloration and patterns do not match up with one.

I'll do some research for you when I get the time; sorry, busy schedule.

Looks like Rana sylvatica, commonly known as Wood Frog .

I'm gonna have to disagree with wood frog, from this angle facial pattern doesn't look right

An Indiana small brown frog with an eye mask is most likely a Wood 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.

Kinda looks like a pickerel frog but there spots are more boxy . But could be a strange one

I am positive it is one of the leopard frog species, definitely not a wood frog or pickerel frog (have well defined blocks in rows) . maybe a plains leopard, possibly a northern leopard but probably the former.
