Calotes versicolor
The Oriental Garden Lizard, Eastern Garden Lizard or Changeable Lizard (Calotes versicolor) is an agamid lizard found widely distributed in Asia. It has also been introduced in many other parts of the world. It is an insectivore and the male gets a bright red throat in the breeding season leading to a common incorrect name of "Bloodsucker".

Thank you in advance!!
You might be right but this one had a bipedal gait which led me to believe it was a fan throated.
Hi siddharthx, i think this one is female Oriental garden lizard, dorsal pattern is different in Fan-throated lizard
