I checked the 6 species for this area and discounted 4 of then so was left with Psammodromus hispanicus and Podarcis hispanica. I then read this http://www.vertebradosibericos.org/repti... and the altitude where mine was (270 metres) is below the 600 metres lower limit. I am fairly sure that most of our lizards are Podarcis hispanica which are said to be quite variable and wonder if this may be one also I just posted better pictures of another two in the same area here http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/383... but then I might be wrong on those also. I am lost with technical terminology of Lizards anyway so a lot of the descriptions I read, such as the above pdf, are lost on me!

Look into Psammodromus hispanicus and see what you think. Range and habitat fit, I think this is a light female. You can barely see blotching that the darker individuals have if you look at the strip that runs from front leg to back leg.
