It is a hard one to pick, does the head have a stripe on the side?

eremius has striping almost all the way down their tails, whereas caudolineatus has striping mostly towards the end of it's tail. How long is the tail in relation to the SVL. If it is a pilbarensis as Bob has suggested, its tail should be about twice as long as the body. It may be enough to give a more positive ID. Eremius and caudolineatus are about one and half times SVL.

So it is about 1.5 times body length. Any chance of getting some closer pics? Maybe you need to keep it back for a while till it gets bigger and you can get a positive ID.
