Thanks for the info AshleyT. I was looking at an outdated reference and forgot about the Genus change. I should have known that!

Bufo is no longer the Genus for toads in North America, and the Fowler's Toad got raised to its own species years ago, it is no longer a subspecies of the Woodhouses Toad.

It is either American (Bufo americanus) or Fowler's toad (Bufo woodhousii fowleri).
