Hi,
I'm new to this site, so I'm not sure if this will work right or not, I am trying to see if any one might know what kind of salamander this is. It is only about six days old. I found a bunch of eggs in a cluster in a pond. I live in Washington way up in the mountains near the Canadian border if that helps. I have looked online, but I see a lot I rink it could be.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I'm thinking Tarichia granulosa, but hopefully sde or neotenic james can respond, because I don't have any experience with these guys yet
 
I concur. A.gracile is the only one likely to both be present, and lay large clumps of eggs. The A.macrodactylum complex only lays small clumps or individual eggs; A.mavortium should be absent; Dicamptodon tenebrosus guards it's eggs in streams; Taricha lay small clumps [possible as well]; the western plethodontids, what few are in that area, are terrestrial breeders.
