green frog? northern leopard frog?

I have always had green frogs in my pond, but a few years ago I purchased 6 northern leopard frog tadpoles. I can't tell what this little one is. I have two different frog sounds that come from my pond, but this one doesn't have the rubber band sound of a green frog. Sorry I couldn't get a good front shot of it. As soon as it sees me it hops into the water. Had to sneak up behind it and crawl under my maple tree and ornamental grass. My neighbors must think I'm nuts.

RE: green frog? northern leopard frog?

Looks to me like a regular green frog... not a bullfrog as the ridge of skin goes straight down the back. I see no evidence of the spots that a leopard frog would have. Bullfrogs and green frogs can be hard to tell apart if you can't get close - but leopard frogs and green frogs are quite different so they're not as usually mistaken for one another.

He's cute!

Yep, it looks like a green frog to me also.
