Ornate Tree Lizard fits the characteristics of the lizard in our observation although the image, the only one we managed to take of it, is a bit out of focus. The main details though are visible in the image. Ornate Tree Lizard was observed on the trunk of one of the resident oaks growing on the mountain.
