Rana clamitans
This species is a mid-sized true frog. Adult green frogs range from 5–10 cm (2.0–3.9 in) in body length (snout to vent, excluding the hindlegs). The typical body weight of this species is from 28 to 85 g (0.99 to 3.0 oz).[5][6] Males have a tympanum twice the diameter of the eye and a bright yellow throat. Female tympanum diameter is about the same as that of the eye. Dorsolateral ridges, prominent, seam-like skin folds that run down the sides of the back, distinguish the green frog from the bullfrog, which entirely lacks them

Leopard frog has bigger defined spots and a dorsal fold that runs the length of the body from the nose to the tail. Green Frogs have illregular shaped spots with their dorsal fold running only about half way down. There maybe some other differences.
