Unknown Frog/Toad?

I found this little guy on my patio, I usually see them after it rains and always wondered what they were. I was able to get a few pictures before I let him go.

Well I can go in my backyard and catch another one, they are all over the place. Thats whats cool about florida, in my screened in patio I have 3 anoles that made it there home, and then every now and then I open the door and these frogs hop in. Ill go look around and try to get a better picture. These frogs are tiny, about the size of my thumbnail.

My first suspicion is that it's Pseudacris (chorus frogs), or Pseudacris nigrita to be more specific, since that's the only one that would be found in your area. More pics will help, especially some from other angles, or even from underneath if you can get one in a clear container. It could also possibly be Acris gryllus (Florida cricket frog), but I'm more doubtful of that one. They're very similar to chorus frogs though. Other than that, I'm not sure yet. It could be neither, but more pics will better determine that. Cute little bugger though
