Elegant Earless Lizard
A small gray, tan, or orange-brown lizard with coloration that usually matches the substrate. Body markings usually consist of light speckles and four rows of brown blotches or chevrons extending from the neck to the tail. A row of chevrons runs down the top of the tail almost all the way to the tip. Some specimens lack dorsal markings.
Mission grounds.

Are you sure this is a side-blotched lizard? Hard to tell if there are external ear openings or not, but this looks more like an elegant earless lizard to me. You can see the two faint black bars on the side of the body http://www.reptilesofaz.org/Lizards-Subp...
