It was a hot and steamy night after twilight showers in Orlando, Florida. The year was 2004, July 2004 to be slightly more exact. I was visiting friends and brought this frog into their house and put it in the bathtub which was where this image was captured. I have corrected the white balance in Lightroom using the white of the tub in the background as my white point. I thought this was a bullfrog (just like every other frog I've ever seen) and decided it was time to know what this actually is. With my limited research I would speculate at this point it might be a Bronze Frog.

I am going to bump this one time because it hasn't gotten any replies and I still hope someone knows what this is. If no one responds this time I will let it die (the thread, not the frog)... Thanks!

Do you have another view where we can see the whole body better?

No, this is the only frame that survived from 8 years ago. I was in a different mindset for taking pictures then not caring what the actual species was, just playing with patterns and light.

I would lean toward Bronze Frog on this one. Without seeing a full body shot it's difficult to say for sure.
