here's a back legged tadpoles
these tadpole pictures are Rana Erythraea(the one at my pic).
Yes it's darker because while it grows it forms color and turning to other colors,the one in my pic it's just that they are new hatched babies and also for the legged one it has formed it's color(sorry i didnt manage to take a picture of it),and also can show me an overhead view of them.Just to give you an advice if you see that it has spots ,wait for the small legs to come out ,the tadpole skin will swell(gill shaped)and burst out its arms (you can use a magnifying glass to make it see easier).Send me an overhead view so that i can help you more.
Since you've said they were from Florida in another thread, here's a detailed guide to the tadpoles from the southeastern US: Guide to Tadpoles
Most of the native species are included. Yours won't be Rana erythraea unless something really odd has happened.
Take a look at the tadpole guide I linked to, there are quite a few pictures of tadpoles with their legs out and pictures of the adult version on the same page. The tadpoles legs are not miniature adult legs, they generally have the immature colour and pattern that the tadpole itself has.
The OPs are not Rana erythraea because that is a frog from Asia, not Florida.
