Hi,
Can anyone identify these lizards, especially the small black one. I was thinking water dragon, but these 2 don't seem to fit the patterning. These photos are taken in Townsville (or about 20 minutes north). Bushland, with a large dam/water body near by.

Toss up between a tommy round-head and a nobby, did at first think a Northern two-lined but they don't have a gular fold on the neck (throat crease lined with rough scales).

Sorry, the furthurest I can narrow it down, lacks the pink patch that nobbies usually have, but nobbies are usually darker than Tommy's but I have seen tommy's change colour when on dark wood and the head shape looks more like a Tommy or water dragon.

First one looks like a cold nobbi dragon to me. Mine look like that when they are cold or haven't been basking. Once warmed up they show all of their colours.

Second I would have said D. magna due to the dark patch behind the head but the location is wrong.

Both look like Diporiphora species to me but the question is which ones.
