Those of you who noticed when the answer was briefly revealed, please don’t spill the beans. Very few AA readers, or anyone else, have seen this one!

So there’s another padless species with a dark dewlap besides A. onca?

I guess Anolis annectens. This one is missing most of L pedal digit IV and part of V.

It is without a doubt Anolis annectens. This is a male. You can see a bit of the huge red dewlap with black spots. The females has a very small, yellow dewlap. One interesting characteristic is that this species always (at least all specimens I have seen) have a yellowish area on the sides of the neck. The intensity of the yellow color on this area varies (like in the specimen of the photo above is quite dull) but it is always present. A similar yellow area on the sides of the neck is also often present in Anolis auratus.
