This frog was lighter in color, with a whitish grey back with green undertones and a white tummy. I did not think to look at his feet. Duh!

Description from Wikipedia

The Plains Spadefoot Toad (Spea bombifrons) is a species of spadefoot toad which ranges from southwestern Canada, throughout the Great Plains of the western United States, and into northern Mexico. Like other species of spadefoot toad, they get their name from a spade-like projection on their hind legs which allows them to dig into sandy soils.
