Henry, they are highly variable in color and back pattern. No other frogs have the same shape as a cricket frog though

Hmm. Mine's a little paler than some of the others I'm finding online, but I think you're right. He's got the same patterning and he's about the right size...plus, they're described as the "most aquatic" of the tree frogs, and I certainly find these guys very close to (or in) the water. Thanks for the suggestion!
