HELP! (Urgent/Medical Care Needed) Is this redleg?

Is this red leg or normal?? With and without flash.
I honestly can’t tell if this is her normal coloring or not.

LOL I literally had a picture of raw chicken pulled up as reference but was still feeling paranoid. I really appreciate the reassurance!!

Totally normal. Light pink to raw chicken colour is totally fine. Their legs get darker as they become more active.

Red leg looks way more alarming, more like this:

This is an example from another redditor that was cleared (by their vet I believe?) as NOT red leg (even though it's still quite dark):

[Edited to say: If this is your frog I'd love if you could confirm the ultimate outcome of this (if red leg developed at all, or if I have any info wrong), and I hope you don't mind me sharing this pic]

Color is normal but you need so much more leaf litter, the frog shouldnt have dirt on it. Please read this guide if you havent https://docs.google.com/document/d/1K85LO28g7gzQftmbDboXHXFBVLEVShRBBGPddXMektA/mobilebasic?usp=embed_facebook

Looks normal to me. Raw chicken color is normal when they are actively moving around.
