Well there are only 3 species in your area. I don't believe it to be the Couch's spadefoot. The other two are Plains and New Mexico, which are both Spea sp. So if you could just put Spea sp in the scientific field box so it can be removed from the unidentified list that would be great since it probably won't be able to be ID'd any further. Thanks!
Unfortunately not, at the time I had never seen a spadefoot and didn't think of looking for that.
Do you have any pictures of this guys spade? That's a really easy way to ID them
