Brian Arbogast sent these photos with a request for identification. I have my guesses, but I thought I’d throw it out to the experts. Here’s what Brian had to say: “They were taken in the lower cloud forest of Sumaco Volcano, on the eastern slope of the Andes in Ecuador at about 1700-1800m in elevation.”

Hi Jonathan
This is Anolis fitchi. The photo above is a female and a male is below. It is a common species in the area, as well as beautiful. We found it near Baeza and Rio Verde, when you visited Ecuador, remember?
