Thats a chorus frog, or at least my best guess. At first glance it has the body shape of a Ranid, but i'm almost positive its actually a chorus frog because the the pads on its feet and its coloration. There a so many color patterns, the latin name, if i'm right, is Pseudacris triseriata. Nice find, you don't see them often, Alex.
 
I'm pretty sure it's not a chorus frog just based on size. Locality information would be very useful. I have some ideas, but a lot would depend on where it's from.

It looks like a brown form of Hyla regilla. As Justin said, it really depends where you found it.
 
I too was thinking about it being a Pacific Treefrog too, but was in a hurry so I didn't type it. Mark, i'm assuming you caught it in CO, right, and it definetely could be a Pacific. Alex.
 
Thanks guys, I live in CO, and that is where it was found. But it was found at a lowes store in the plants, so it might have been shipped in from another state. MAYBE. I looked up both of those frogs and they both seem like they could be it, but I own 2 western chorus frogs, and they are much smaller, so I dont think it is. So, I dont know.

PS. To the moderators, if this post is not apropriate and has links and not pictures, I would understand if it were deleted, but if you could wait till I get more reponses that would be nice. Thank you.
