I know that it's green, but from what I read, the Gray Treefrog changes color from gray to green depending on its surroundings.
See a video of its daring escape here.
The Gray Tree Frog (Hyla versicolor) is a species of small arboreal frog native to much of the eastern United States and southeastern Canada.
As the scientific name implies, Gray tree frogs are variable in color owing to their ability to camouflage themselves from gray to green, depending on the substrate they are sitting on. The degree of mottling varies. They can change from nearly black to nearly white. They change color at a slower rate than a chameleon. (Wikipedia)
Gray Tree Frogs (Hyla versicolor) are common frogs across Massachusetts who spend the majority of their adult lives in treetops.

A grey tree frog (hyla versicolr) lingered a little too long on the ivy last night. It was late morning when I found him right next to the spigot, moist and dripping with condensation as the sprinklers were quenching the dry garden.
(Note, he still has a bit of a butt bump from his tadpole days.)

This young grey tree frog (hyla versicolor) was hanging out in the milkweed patch today. The milkweed is loaded with tiny flies and other critters, which I'm sure this little guy loves to eat.
The grey tree frog can change color based on its mood and surroundings. On the big milkweed leaf, he has taken on a shade of green.

This is just one of 7 baby GTFs we found at Sherman Hoffman yesterday.
A few glamor shots of a little Gray Treefrog I saw earlier this month. I love finding these guys and getting a few photos but their camouflage is just so good. I am sure I am missing many more than I am seeing.
There is a Gray Tree frog on the Milkweed plants, can you see him?? This image illustrates why most folks walk right by and never eve know they are there. Sometimes you can find 6 or 8 of these little beauties on the milkweed.

Found this critter hiding on my sweet pea trellis.
Large view is recommended.
This Gray Tree Frog quickly hopped from the milkweed to this bush but he wasn't quick enough for me!

A male eastern gray tree frog, in its green color phase, was on the trunk of the red maple next to our deck last evening calling for a mate.

A tiny juvenile gray tree frog (Hyla versicolor) stayed a little late on our deck last night. When I moved the grill cover, there he was, very dark green - almost black. After moving him to the box, he turned much lighter, so they must be able to alter their color on demand!! (COOL!) Eventually, he will turn all gray as he gets older.

Baby Gray Treefrog
Sherman Hoffman Audubon, NJ

This is my favorite shot I have of one of the baby GTFs. smaller than my thumbnail. Would have liked some more DOF to play with but the conditions didn't allow for it
I was picking up sticks in my yard on a cloudy late afternoon and was on my way to throw this in the yard waste dumpster when I noticed a little passenger. It cooperated for a photo session.

Cope's (chrysoscelis) is the species found in this immediate area--we do not appear to have any of the virtually identical Hyla versicolor.
