Notes
I am calling this frog L. chiricahuensis because it has a spot on the nose in front of the eyes. It also appears to have tubercles between the dorsolateral folds. I don't see white spots on the rear of the thigh, but the picture was shot through vegetation and detail in that region may be obscured. L. yavapiensis would also be suspected based on habitat and location. Comments from those familiar with leopard frogs would be appreciated.
