 Is this a Fowler Toad?

This guy has taken up residence in our flower garden. He burrows (hides) during the day but we see him early each morning while the garden is still in the shade. He is always covered with sand unitll I give him his bath while watering the flowers. His body is 2 1/2 inches long. He does not have a whie or cream stripe on his back and has some orange on him. We live in Panama City, Fla. slightly inland from the coast. We have a lot of wildlife in our yard including a couple of black snakes, and turtles along with a lot of frogs.

Having done a little more research I believe it is a Sourthern Toad. The toad is white on his belly and underneath his back legs, has the knobs on his head and when I got to close to him taking pictures I noticed a milky white secretion around his neck area, you can see it in one of the photos.
