Southern Chorus Frog vs. Upland Chorus Frog

The Southern Chorus Frog is often taken for an Upland Chorus Frog, which looks and sounds much like it (VHS); in Virginia the Southern lives only in the far southeast. A: Rows of rounded dark spots, often joined into rough, blobby stripes in the Southern Chorus Frog; thin dark lines or rows of small spots in the Upland Chorus Frog. B: Grainy, with a long narrow head and a pointed snout in the Southern Chorus Frog; smoother, with a shorter, blunter head in the Upland Chorus Frog. The Southern's belly is plain white and its legs boldly banded; the Upland's belly is yellowish with dark spots. The Southern's call is a slow rising trill of notes you can count; the Upland's a quick comb-tooth crreek.
