Bull Frog Tadpoles

Canaan Valley, West Virginia

I'm in Canaan Valley (3,200' elevation) and this critter was "snaking" about in a nearly dry ephemeral pool off the Freeland Road Wetlands Boardwalk.
There are two (maybe 8"and 3" )in this image; lower right corner.
Any idea of what it could be?
Jim Fregonara (WV DNR) identified these for me - - Thanks!

Good find and image Don. Can't help on the ID.

From the thumbnail I thought it might have been an alligator basking, but obviously not!
