I received this image from a friend of mine living in Panama. He asked me to identify the anole pictured for him. My immediate response back to him was Anolis insignis. However after looking at the animal I started to doubt my identification… the gular color seems to have too much yellow. I know that several of the Dactyloa group have been recently described, so this is possibly something new?

The photo is from Altos del Maria, cloud forest, a little east of El Valle, Panama.

Anyone dispute my ID? If so, what do you think?
