Lampropholis delicata
25mm to 75mm skink style of lizard
Remnant dry sclerophyll woodland ridge island in coastal suburban sprawl. There are literally tens of thousands of these skinks in the grassland. They run out from under my feet every step I take in the grasses
These were sunning themselves as the nights have become very cold. They did not want to be disturbed so for the first time in months I had a free shot at getting their photo. They seemed relieved when I came no closer. No research yet Identification thanks to Leuba

Thanks Leuba. I think that is it. I have been trying to identify these guys since I moved here
Stephen, have a look at my spotting from 2011 - Your's could be a similar skink- a Delicate Skink. Both appear to have white throats and metallic but unmarked bodies.
