Its very likely you saw a wood frog as well since they breed in the same habitat.

Hi Nate, I changed it to spring peepers. The frog was so small, and the dark mark under the chin confused me. And I did see a wood frog that was a little larger in the area that got away in the thicket. But it had run across my mind that maybe this was a spring peeper. So thank you for the help.
