Northern Leopard frog - Rana pipiens

Although the temperature was dropping all day and quite nasty with wind and rain, it was spring. The air was rife with the fragrance of the land drinking in this spring moisture. I was headed to the barn to feed the birds and cats when I walked by this guy and couldn't resist going back for a camera.

I wonder if that hump on his back is an indication of age?
