Scaphiopus holbrookii
Yellow toad with dark stripes down the back forming an hourglass shape. Speckled with warts, elliptical pupils and yellow eyes.
This poor guy was in my mother's pool skimmer but usually they prefer to burrow in sandy soil. A black spur on the hind feet allows them to burrow backwards into the ground.
This is by far the most handsome spadefoot I've ever found. I'm used to them being a duller yellow or brown.
