Ornate Chorus Frog vs. Southern Chorus Frog

Both breed in winter in the same grassy, fishless pools of the longleaf pine flatwoods. A: A bold dark bar from the eye to the shoulder, then bold blotches on the side in the Ornate Chorus Frog; rows of blobby dark spots down the back in the Southern Chorus Frog. B: Tan, grey, pink, red, chestnut or green in the Ornate Chorus Frog; grey or tan in the Southern Chorus Frog. Calls: the Ornate a sharp, metallic 'kik' over and over; the Southern Chorus a slow, rising rattle of notes you can count.
