Notes
These appear to be L. yavapiensis based on broken dorsolateral folds, lack of anterior labial stripe, lack of light halos around dorsal spots, and no spots in front of eyes. However, L. pipiens and L. chiricahuensis could also occur in this area. I'm quite confident they are not pipiens, but am less sure that they are not chiricahuensis. Unfortunately I did not manage to get a good look at the back of the thighs on any of the leopard frogs I saw here. Comments from those with good familiarity with leopard frogs is appreciated.
