Bronze frogs can have vermiculations on their chin and bellies, and they are usually more pronounced in juveniles. River frogs don't have the ridges, which your frog clearly has. Smaller river frogs closer to the size of this one I think would still have red/reddish eyes.

The black and white mottling on the chin is a distinguishing feature. The last river frog I found here, I identified as a bronze and was corrected on the forum.

Looks like a bronze frog - I see dorsolateral ridges
