But it's not a regen tail. And yeah it's an AHG.
The expanded toe pads are very similar to Gehyra but as alluded to, Gehyra have no claw on the first digit whereas Hemidactylus do. The dilated end pad in Gehyra is virtually circular whereas in Hemidactylus it is ovate. In both genera the first can be reduced in size but it is very often markedly so with Hemidactylus.Something to do with claws on toes gives it away doesnt it?
