Description

I so wanted this to be a Fowler's Toad but I just can't put convince myself that it is. Perhaps a young Fowler's Toad or just an odd colored American Toad.

The American Toad (Bufo americanus) is a common species of toad found throughout the eastern United States and Canada. It is divided into three subspecies—the Eastern American Toad (B. a. americanus), the Dwarf American Toad (B. a. charlesmithi), and the rare Hudson Bay Toad (B. a. copei). Newer taxonomies consider this species Anaxyrus americanus.
