female, small lizard, prominent beige stripe down its back

I spotted this my first day of hiking in San Cipriano forest reserve. I've searched my Reptiles and Amphibians of the Amazon, but haven't found a match.

I think you're right Forest, thanks.
Dan, from what I can find, it resembles a female Crested Anole, Anolis cristatellus. For some reason, there aren't very many pictures of them. I found a couple that are close:

Yours might be a juvenile. That's my best guess.
Looks like some kind of anole.
