When in doubt fill a jar and bring it in the house, a favorite activity around

Frog tadpoles are greenish-brownish and have wavy, broader tails.
Toad tadpoles are black and have whip like tails.
Salamanders and newts will have visible gills and be longer in the body.

When you've IDed them put them back in the pond so you don't have baby hoppers
making their way to the white porcelain pond in the bathroom at 5am in the
morning (been there, done that!).
