This cute froggy is a northern leopard frog. The similarly spotted
pickerel frog is more common in New England, but they have bright yellow
or orange patches on the sides that this one lacks.

A closeup, showing the very prominent light-colored dorso-lateral ridges
on the froggy's back. This frog was about 2 or 3 inches long.

I was somewhat surprised to see a frog in the dry blueberry scrub,
since they normally stick pretty close to water, but not far down the
trail I saw the remnants of a spring pond.
