all wrong it is Otocryptis nigristigma. It is distributed in the drier parts of Sri Lanka and was named 11 years ago.

thank you very much Paul

Ashish it does looks like female Fan-throated lizard. but my suggestion was based on the location, according to my guide book Fan-throated lizard restricted to arid parts in north. north west and southern parts of the island so i doubt it's presence in a rain forest. but i may be wrong!

yes it does look like the female Fan throated lizard. thank you Ashish Nimkar and Nuwan ayya for the suggestions.
