The coloration of frogs can vary quite a bit. Your frog appears lighter that usual, but is still within the range of normal.

Re: An Unusual Tadpole
Very interesting! And they are quite adorable too. Nice photo.
We have what we call "Bullfrog" here in Jamaica but I think they are really toads. Not sure. They are quite big. And we have very tiny frogs called "Whistling Frogs".
