Hallo!

Sure it was really P.lessonae (even if it really looks like a lot to this species)?
Whatever it's a nice find !

The frog was found in an area where no other Pelophylax exists (South of the City of Gävle, by the coast) so I think it´s a P.lessonae. If anyone can verify it´s a P.lessonae I will be most gratefull.

Impossible to be 100% sure from just such a photo, but looks about right (pigmentation, proportions).

The location of the observation matches their small range in Sweden, so its definitely a Pool frog.
This article (in Swedish) cover pretty much their situation in Sweden.
