This dusty little individual is a Mexican spadefoot toad[Spea multiplicata], a species found throughout Mexico and the southwestern United States. These hardy little toads are adapted to life in the desert, and they spend much of their time burrowed in the ground to retain moisture. This toad was spotted by photographer Ricardo Arredondo T.
