If you ever make it back up here Mink Frogs should be pretty easy to track down. Since it's pretty much the only species we have up here that all you folk down south don't have it's one I take pride in being able to find.

Ps. I added a second voucher of one without dorsolateral ridges to address any additional ID concerns.

Nice record, would like to come up and see one some time.

Ahh, thanks. It is a Mink Frog -- I'm used to only having a handful of species to pick from a list and must have hit sphenocephalus purely based on the name's 'at a glance' similarity to septentrionalis. Fixing epithet now.

Looks like a mink frog.
