Upland Chorus Frog

Pseudacris feriarum

Description

Upland chorus frogs are native a large area of the eastern US and are found in the northeast half of the state. They are small frogs with similar brown patterns of most chorus frogs. Often tan to brown with three rows of dark lines (occasionally broken) and potential faint triangular mark on head (Peterson et al., 2016). Its call sounds like that of a metallic comb being pulled along a finger.
