Anolis carolinensis
Small lizard that can change color from green to brown. Males are larger than females and have longer noses and a bright red throat flap (dewlap) which are used in territorial, dominance and courting displays. These lizards feed mostly on small insects.
Wooded preserve in Hilton Head Plantation, Hilton Head Island, SC.
I was surprised and happy to find an anole as it wasn't exceptionally warm for that area.
