I found a frog while netting in a small pond under some leaves. It is dark brown( almost black) black stripes on it's legs. Small black spots on its back. White belly with black stripes. Smooth skin. Big eyes. Small frog about the size of my thumb (almost). Long back legs. Can jump far. I would like to know what kind it is. Thanks.

I live in North carolina. In the sandhills.

Geographic location might help....
ADDITION:
I'm not sure if this would be a treefrog, or another type. I'll give you a link to look at some photos - try the river frog, pickerel frog, and gray treefrog. This could also be a dark wood frog, but It won't look much like the photo on this website - I'll try to find a better one and post it later.

Okay, here's a better wood frog: http://www.enature.com/fieldguides/detail.asp?recnum=AR0033
It should be about time for them to be mating - they're one of the earlier frogs and will come out while there's still snow.
