Mystery SW Florida Frog

According to this post on FF.net this frog was found in SW Florida. The user is trying to get an ID, and no one on that forum seems to know what it is. I knew this would be the place to take the photo ;) Thanks in advance guys, I know someone here will know what it is! http://www.frogforum.net/attac...
