[Kurt]

Its a Hyla cinerea.

Its a Hyla cinerea.

I just heard him calling last night and he sounds nothing like a green tree frog. He has a long buzzing call rather than a squeak as do the GTFs have.

I have heard and seen green treefrogs calling and they indeed do "buzz".

I have heard and seen green tree frogs calling and they indeed do "buzz".

This is why I believe it is a Hyla squirella and not aHyla cinerea, although I could be mistaken.Here is a picture I have pulled from the website: http://wwknapp.home.mindspring.com/d...rel.tfrog.html
A call is also available for listening and he sounds identical to that call.



He/she has a yellowish tone on its feet, a unique pattern on its sides and sides of feet, a diminished striped running along the sides of its mouth, similar to that of a GTF, and like earlier stated a call that sounds exactly like it.

EDIT: He/she also looked more similar to this tone of green when I first captured it that it does now. Once I placed it in captivity it turned a much brighter green.

Kurt, what makes you say its an H. cinerea and not an H. squirella? squirella can look a heck of a lot like cinerea.

It is probably because the pictures I posted did not show the H. squirella's features very well. I have taken one now that I think shows without a shadow of a doubt that it is in fact an H. squirella.
