Just Sunning on the Deck Railing

I thought this critter was a leaf until I got close. I was about to swipe it off the railing til its eye started watching me. After jumping back in surprise, my next step was to grab my camera with the macro lens on it. Does anyone know what kind of frog this is?

Update based on AmyK's suggestion. It might be a gray treefrog: https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=ALiCzsaq3ZuCev3-dcg8VTV_ziRykZxkHQ:1657770520795&source=univ&tbm=isch&q=gray+treefrog&fir=n2f6AXv6t6moNM%252C9oOcfnwbU-dEAM%252C_%253BC5kM48veFg_bqM%252Ch62jLMAPJ9nCVM%252C_%253B627fHQ5h2kfhVM%252CvZsyGqtaFO0xNM%252C_%253BL84HRvQwJBX5rM%252CqcIwHjRnWvL2SM%252C_&usg=AI4_-kRxcLqI1E1isI3tirv3bnffGqua8A&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjyhIu4vPf4AhWVI30KHWUHA18QiR56BAgzEAI&biw=1239&bih=911&dpr=2

Love your story…he’s a cutie. Maybe a grey tree frog?

@amyk Thanks -- it might be. I'm adding a link to photos of gray tree frog based on a google search. Some photos look like this one, but most don't. But the shape is right as well as the size.

A well spotted scene. The shallow depth of field is incredible.
