Oriental Garden Lizard, Eastern Garden Lizard or Changeable Lizard

Calotes versicolor

Notes:

I saw this handsome lizard from far, he stood there, motionless, as if he knew that I would pass his way. Most interestingly, he showed me the other color of his face, but the the white spot remained white. I think I have its female's photograph.
