This is a Long-toed Salamander, one of the Mole Salamanders. We found him (or her) in our garage, brought him in for a brief photography session and then released him outdoors. He is probably hibernating now. In the insets the long toes for which he is named can be seen as also the green mottling on his back, barely visible in this photo.
