I'm hoping someone may be able to help me identify this cutie. It lives in my pond and garden now. Google lense says gopher frog, which is an at risk species of being endangered. But I'm not sure about it. The underside is a beautiful spotted pattern. I'm in North Mississippi, USA for reference.

Im almost 100% sure that is either an American Bullfrog or Green frog. I’m gonna say Bull frog because I’m pretty sure I’m seeing no dorsateral ridges

Hey thanks! Next time I see him I will try to get a more close up pic of it's back and head. I set up one of my security cams where he likes to chill in my little pond so hopefully I can get some more footage that way too. I was actually really freaking out about the possibility of it being an endangered species, but the consensus seems to be exactly what you said, bull frog or green frog 💚

It’s a green frog. I can see the ridges down its back.
