When you get a chance, look up my suggestion. Individuals vary greatly in color and pattern and the males have bright blue splotches on the sides of their heads in breeding season. But I think it fits the bill

I clanged it to unkown, I could not get to your ref, internet is very bad here

Doesn't look like a true gecko: note the claws on it's feet. Something in what we in N America would call a swift- a lizard suited for rock living and climbing
