Looks like a Red-spotted Newt in the Red Eft stage. We see a lot of them here (mostly on the road), but I've never seen an adult.
There are only 2 types of toads in Michigan: American Toad and Fowler's Toad. This one looks like the American Toad (the commonest one), since it only appears to have 1 or 2 warts in the black spots, whereas Fowler's has 3 or more.
The warts are the ones within the black spots on their back. If you look at your picture, you can see black spots scattered down the middle of the back, and each one has 1 or 2 warts.
