Backyard Wildlife Addition of a Frog

How many different animals have I photographed in our backyard?  In a time when we haven’t been able to travel to see much, having stuff come to us has been quite a benefit.  This addition was a total surprise.  I had taken the sun shade out from where it was stored beside the house and, when I put it up, I realized it was pretty grubby and needed a clean.  I moved it to an open patch of grass and washed it down.  When I got back to the table, I realized it had been housing a frog that had dropped on to the table when I opened the shade up.  I grabbed the camera quickly before it disappeared.  It actually hung around longer than I expected and I even tried to start focus stacking but it then got a little mobile and I gave up on that.

It leapt off the table and on to the grass where I got a couple more shots before letting it head off to wherever it felt like taking cover.  The green and gold colors were really pretty vibrant.  I am not a frog expert but I did Google it.  I think there is a fair chance that it is a Pacific Tree Frog.  Anyone know anything better?
