Identify these frogs
Does anyone know what kind of frog this is? I caught them as tadpoles in Andrew Haydon Park in Ottawa. Sorry, that's the best pic I could get.

Pic is hard for me to see but it looks like a spring peeper.
I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm not seeing well enough !!

Leopard frog, definately. I believe, not too sure though, that Spring Peepers always have some sort of an X marking on their back. Correct me if I'm wrong! Anyways, those frogs look NOTHING like a spring peeper!
