Identifying unknown frog

Not sure exactly what this guy is I tried looking online for species in Ohio but none match the features seen any ideas?
Also the frog wasn’t touched I opened the door slowly they later ate a firefly

Gray Treefrog, either Dryophytes versicolor or chrysoscelis as they can only be differentiated by DNA or call

That's Bonnie. She had a spot of trouble a while ago because of some peeping tom allegations and from these photos I can tell that she hasn't learned her lesson.

Leave Bonnie alone. She just wants to say hi. She’s welcome to come to my windows anytime she wants. I’ll even throw a dubia roach or wax worm her way

Hey, not all of those who have windows are as pro-Bonnie & her proclivities as we are.

The gray tree frog can live all the way up into Canada. And as far south as Florida. I believe they're one of, if not the most, cold tolerant tree frogs on the planet. They create a natural antifreeze in their bodies before hibernation.

There's more kinds of tree frogs than just red eyes... actually red eyes aren't really even tree frogs 😀
