Pickerel Frog - Lithobates palustris or Northern Leopard Frog - Lithobates pipien (1 Viewer)

While travelling in Ontario, Canada, I found this frog in the road. I am not sure if is Pckerel or Norther Leopard Frog. Is anyone able to identify this frog? Thank you.

The rounded spots on the back would seem to indicate Leopard Frog, Pickerel Frog has rectangular spots.

Thank you again, Andy! I identified this frog as a Pickerel at first, because the brown colour and square-looking spots but watching the picture I noticed that the spots had weak green colour halos, what made me think it could be Leopard Frog. All the Leopard frogs I have seen have very bright green halos, but this frog's halos are inconspicuous.
