Not a tadpole but a baby frog. A tadpole has gills and a tail but a frog has lungs and no tail. This creature has lungs and a tail as it is just emerging from the water (In my rain barrell) for the very first time. Its head is yellow and bright green indicating it might be a bull frog.
I have plenty of little tiny frogs about the size of a raisin, some grey, some brown, and one or two will be black and I have seen a few young prune size but this is the first one I have seen with the tail still attached. It's about the size of a chocolate-covered peanut.
