Easy one, I first sought... Then I stumbled over Pickerel and Leopard frog and now I am no more so sure ;-)...
In my eyes it looks like being the Pickerel Frog, Lithobates palustris. But I might be wrong... Please, verify and check some links and pictures I found, I would not dare to make a suggestion...
