Saw this animal at a lake in the middle of the day. Very unusual since these guys are nocturnal. Skin swab collected from this salamander tested positive for Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis.

This looks to be an example of a hypomelanistic version of a red-bellied newt. I have not been able to see any documented observations like this!
