Well I didn't get any photos to determine the foot webbing, so I guess I'll have to leave it unknown or wait for a herpetologist who might know how to ID it another way.
If I remember this correctly, the size of it varies between male and female.
Love the green
The eardrum looks a bit too small to be a pig frog. I don't know how variable that can be though.
It looks like it is a small Bull Frog or Pig Frog. A good way to tell the difference is the back feet. Pig Frog toes are fully webbed. Bull Frogs don't have webbing on the last joint of the longest toe. Here are some links to learn more:
