Anolis carolinensis
Very common in my neighborhood, built along an intermittent creek. They like to hide in the foliage and will venture onto fences or upper part of the leaves to perform a head-bobbing dance.
Ah, thanks! I am not certain about the pink throat patch, as they tend to skitter away quickly, but they do pump their head up & down. The photographs in the links also look very similar. I have not seen an active change in their coloration, though I have seen slight color variations in individuals.
It looks like an anole. Does it pump up and down on its feet and expand a pink throat patch? does it change to the color of the vegetation? Here is a reference;

Welcome to Project Noah. I am not 100% certain but I suspect your spotting is a Green Anole
