    Colors are a bit off but it does look like a Northern Leopard to me.

    It looks like a pickerel frog, Lithobates palustris. A close relative to the leopard frog, but unlike it's cousin, it is toxic and should not be housed with other frogs.

    Ah yes, could be a pickerel - that explains the color. Here's a Pickerel Frog I photographed in April:

    I think the legs look more like a Pickerel so I'm with Kurt.

    I am not a big expert on Ranids, but the pickerel frog is one that I am very familar with. So I am definitely going to stand by my ID. If you want to make sureand end all doubt, you can always consult a field guide such as the Peterson guide for the eastern US.

    The last pics you posted are definitely Lithobates pipiens, the norhtern leopard frog.
