    He appears to be a Grey Tree Frog (Hyla Versicolor), who are kinda rare in TN. They tend to vary in color between greenish and grey, but their color can change based on diet and environment.

    It appears to be Xanthic, if it looks as yellow in life as in your picture. That’s also pretty rare, kind of like albinism.

    It is the dreaded Mexican Staring Frog of Southern Sri Lanka.

    Your property will now have to be seized because it’s the home of a rare frog. Next time you find a rare species on your property, just kill the thing (to save your property) and don’t take pictures of it.

    My five-year-old just pointed at it and called out, “IT’S A TREE FROG!”
    He’s brilliant.
