Notophthalmus viridescens
Under water pictures shows the Eastern Newt, adult stage. They may have red spots. Adult males grow high tail fins and horny growths on their hind lets when they are ready to mate. Adults live in the water and change into aquatic adults. If the pond dries up, adults revert to efts, which live on land.
They live in clean ponds, rivers, marshes, and lakes.

Scott, I have one amphibian I am unable to ID. Check out my unidentified pictures and see if you know what it is. Thanks. Doreen
