It's going to be pretty hard for anyone to positively identify it for you from one photo on the internet, especially when it's so young.

Check the last thread you started about it. Ryan gave some pretty good tips to help you find out more since you can see it far better than any of us can. Also, you could always ask the people you bought it from, if they are knowledgable they will be able to tell you what it is.

We breed both and that definitely looks like a young bearded dragon to me--it could be is a hybrid but I doubt it.
Although they look somewhat similar, rankins have different patterns and a shorter, fatter, more spikey tail--a very different head shape than dragons as adults, but with young ones it can be confusing. Of course, rankins are much smaller too.
Here is a photo of a 3 month old rankins for comparison.

ah, forgot about the spikey tail. Actually, the beardie doesn't quite look to me like either. The tail has almost no spikes and the body pattern seems a little different than a normal baby dragon, doesn't it? I could be way off, but it's late and I'm tired. I'll post again tomorrow.

Looks to me more like a lawsons/rankins. I have a Rankins, and it looks fairly close to yours. The back pattern and the shape of the nose and the color lines on the nose look like rankins to me. How old is it?
I posted a pic of my rankins, perhaps you can compare.
