Not calotes versicolor for sure...
except for the head neck shapes, it looks more like Calotes calotes of India.
But VianneyTedjamulia's id is spot on i think...

I think this one is Green Crested Lizard which native to Indonesia. It can also change its color from green to brown or black with white-yellow vertical bar.
Calotes versicolor is non-Indonesia species.

Very nice you can spotting it alive UrifahRidlo, usually i found it become Unidentified Road Pizza (Got crushed by vehicles) :(

Btw, its nice to know that someone from Malang also join project noah.
