Great Basin Fence Lizard

Western fence lizard is a common name. This is just one of many in California.

I realize that, but it's also a colloquial name.

Yes they have blue bellies but that's not what they are called. Fence lizards and there are many species.

Just a regular little blue belly then... I thought it was something more rare.

Either a dark female or a dark juvenile

Looked at the California Herps and can't seem to find a match. Photo if sharper I might. This the site if you can spot it. http://www.californiaherps.com/lizards/l...
