I found a wood frog that is bright red!!!

It even rivals the red of some tomato frogs i've seen.
Could it be a genetic color mutation or a different color phase

(I will try and get pics soon)

Wow, that is the reddest Wood I ever saw. I see many light-colored ones around here; one even looked leucistic. But nothing as red as that.

I agree it is redder than most. You should check with your state's herp guy about this, it might be worth a field note publication.
