It looks more like a palearis to me. Just my opinion.

I am no expert, but I have a similis and had a palearis.
Yours looks like my paleraris but smaller. The color pattern, size of tail spikes, and dewlap is how you can tell. Similis has small tail spikes or tail whorles. Palearis has a dewlap or flag like skin under it's throat. Similis has loose folds of skin under it's throat, but not much of a dewlap. I can't see it from the pics though. Those are just a couple of things that I know of. There are other people here that have a lot of knowlege on this forum, so they might be able to help you with further questions.

If you could post a clearer whole body shot, I can identify it. Those other photos were blurry and I actually thought it was a similis female from that first blurry head shot. After ar said it looked like a palearis, I took a double take, and noticed that it did. A better photo would help.
