Just a pacific treefrog, they have several calls.

Everyone thinks this because hollywood uses the Pacific Treefrog call
everywhere.
Little kid holding bullfrog, bullfrog gives Pacific Treefrog call. Never
mind that no self respecting bullfrog is going to call while held like
that. That's one comes to mind right now. Or marines in south pacific
jungle, yep pacific treefrogs there too. Or amazon jungle, or Africa.
It might help to realize a pacific treefrog is typically only about a
inch long. His call is in the ballpark for some other chorus frogs in
his size range. Like the Mountain Chorus Frog.
Otherwise we have frogs that make all kinds of different calls.
