I believe so...I'm certainly no expert on Pacific NW amphibians though. This was a rather large animal (maybe 3" SVL) and was in a tire rut along with numerous other R. cascadae. Several keys note the "honey yellow" coloration of the abdomen. I did see a SINGLE R. aurora while up there, but not at Mt. Rainier and it exhibited a really intense reddish color in the groin.
The data quality assessment is a summary of an observation's accuracy. All
observations start as "casual" grade, and achieve
"research" grade when
the iNat community agrees with the observer's ID, where an "agreeing"
identification is one that matches exactly or is of a child taxon of the
observer's ID. For example, if Scott says it's a mammal and Ken-ichi
says it's Homo sapiens, then Ken-ichi agrees with Scott.
the observation has a date
the observation is georeferenced (i.e. has lat/lon coordinates)
the observation has a photo
Observations will revert to "casual" grade if the above conditions aren't met or
the community agrees the location doesn't looks accurate (e.g. monkeys in the middle of the ocean, hippos in office buildings, etc.)
the community agrees the organism isn't wild/naturalized (e.g. captive or cultivated by humans or intelligent space aliens)
Comments & Identifications
I guess the lack of a brownish reddish hue separates them from Red legged?
