>>They are only distinguishable by DNA and their call. But if both are found in the state it could be either, I didn't think Hyla v. versicolor was found that far south.

According to the Davidson website, versicolor is only found in
two very isolated spots at the very northern edge of North Carolina. To be honest, I don't really take too much stock in taxonomy, especially in a case like this where there may only be slight differences in DNA and call. But according to what's generally accepted (at least by one herpetologist), I would say you have bragging rights. 
Thanks,
Ed
