Probably just a common female brown anole. Possibly not listed on the forest's registry of animals because it's invasive; it's native to Cuba, but they've become more common in the southeast US than our native green anole. Seems we have a lot of invasive cubans down here. Here are a few good sites:

http://www.homestead.com/Anolis/puertolist.html How helpful this site is without pictures I don't know, but I suppose if you realllllly wanted to you could look up individual species to find the pic. (If I thought it was anything other than a brown anole, I would, but I don't, so I won't.) 
Nice pic BTW!
