Beytell's Bullfrog (Pyxicephalus beytelli) has recently been described by Louis de Preez et. al. A unique looking species from Botswana, Angola, Zambia and Zimbabwe that used to be considered under P. adspersus, but has a golden yellow back with black markings and also a light spot on the tympanum. It also has teeth on the maxilla (but the mouth needs to be opened).
