A second unusual frog at the same site. The "warty" skin texture and pattern point to possible Columbia Spotted Frog. I sent these photos to local herp expert, but didn't hear back yet.

I don't have photos of the undersides. This unusual frog was ID'd by a Yukon herp expert as Wood Frog, though he pointed out that it's an odd one. I'm keen to hear other thoughts on the ID of this frog.

This individual crossed the road in front of us and stayed beside the road, hiding in the vegetation while we stopped for a couple of pictures.
