Bronze frog

Lithobates clamitans clamitans

Description:

The bronze frog grows up to 2–4 inches (5.4–10.2 cm). Distinguishing characteristics include a bronze to brownish body, white belly with dark, irregular blotches, and a bright green upper lip and nose. Males may have yellowish throats. Bronze frogs are smooth skinned, like all true frogs. They have long hind legs with webbed toes. A fold of skin, called a lateral line (actually dorsolateral folds, two of them, lateral line is something else), begins behind the eye and runs two-thirds the length of body. The tympanum (ear disc) is larger in males. (information from Wikipedia)

Habitat:

Red Slough Wildlife Management Area

Notes:

Based on the size of the tympanum, my guess is that this specimen is a female.
