Frog or?

I found this frog(?) in my garden. Is it a common frog and if it is why is it so swollen/large? Too many slugs or ? Wondering if it's ok.

Thank you

My neighbour has had a frog like yours for several years, here's an article which states that common frogs can be this colour ... www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/.../
If you google there are many images of yellow frogs!

Thank you. It was more the size of it, it looks swollen or is it merely well fed? There are plenty of slugs here

Not swollen by comparison to my neighbour's frog which is quite lively ... females are very much larger than males!
