A Second New Mexico Lizard Needs ID

StephenC Nov 07, 2006 06:23 AM

This, too, is a lizard I photographed while visiting New Mexico. Can anyone help with its ID?

This was photographed in southeast New Mexico, in Chaves County, in the Mescalero Sands. The date was May 6, 2006. It was not especially large.

Thanks in advance for any help!

This looks like a lesser earless lizard. Here's a link:

Looks like a close match, thanks, Alec!
