Pseudacris hypochondriaca
—
Baja California Treefrog
Also known as:
Baja California Chorus Frog
Some authorities place this species in genus Hyliola. Also, this species was split from Pseudacris regilla a while back, and some authorities (e.g. amphibiaweb.org) do not accept this split.
Subspecies I've seen:
P. h. hypochondriaca
Northern Baja California Treefrog
Pseudacris hypochondriaca hypochondriaca

Northern Baja California Treefrog
This tiny froglet was hopping about at the edge of one of the few permanent streams in Anza-Borrego. I looked around for adult frogs, but found only metamorphs like this one, along with some equally tiny toads.
