Hi,
I think you have a Speckled caiman or something similar looking. I don't specialize in crocadilians but I know it's not an American Alligator and very unlikely to be a Chinese Alligator (Endangered and very rare) and I think it's speckled caiman on my analysis on the crocadilian and how common speckleds are.
Sincerely,
Mark
