It's a western heath dragon Ctenophorus (Rankinia) adelaidensis. This is a rather handsome coloured up male.
can I ask a question, why is it ctenophorus? I thought it was just rankinia?
thanks

Just tryig to encourage people to take some nice photos of their animals with the cams they have!

The only Rankinia left is diemensis? Someone who has the paper can double check that for me. Maybe Rankinia has been sunk?
The remaining two are now Ctenophorus, with each of the 4 sub-species being elevated to full species.

yes, those rankinia are now Ctenophorus. Most people will know exactly what you're talking about if you say "rankinia".
All these field guides were out of date as soon as they are printed. There's a new field guide to be released very soon which doesn't have Pygopus robertsi in it (newly described species). It's a bit of work to stay at the forefront of taxonomy and sorting the rubbish descriptions from the good ones can be hard.
