Depends on size and regularity
Spotted
covered in small, usually round areas of colour:
a spotted toad
She was wearing a black and white spotted dress.

covered with speckles:
a bird with a speckled breast
The floor was speckled under where he had painted

Thanks! Is this distinction based on dictionary definitions or it's just how these words are used in real life? Because I've looked them up in several dictionaries and couldn't grasp the difference.
