thanks bayucca... Can anyone narrow this ID down?

I am pretty sure this is a Sceloporus sp. and looks like being Sceloporus variabilis, but I would be happy, if someone else could take a look at it to confirm or correct. Sceloporus chrysostictus would be another candidate, but
Please, verify!

Looking at Sceloporus chrysostictus I am all of a sudden no more sure...
How safe can these 2 species separated from each other?
