| The
bird-voiced treefrog is usually a mottled gray, but like many treefrogs,
its dorsal coloration may change to brownish or green with temperature
or activity. This frog is easily mistaken for the larger gray treefrog,
which is very similar in coloration, including a light square below
the eye. The bird-voiced treefrog is most easily distinguished from
its look-alike by the greenish yellow flash colors on the concealed
portion of its hind leg, which are usually more orange in color
in the gray treefrog. Bird-voiced treefrogs inhabit wooded swamplands
of the South, where they can be heard calling during spring and
summer.
