Looks to me like whichever chrysolepis-type anole occurs in Guyana. Exactly a year ago today, we had a post on a new field guide to Guyanan herps by Cole et al. which probably would help. According to that guide, I believe the species would be A. planiceps. Any thoughts any one?

I agree, probably planiceps. Looks like you can see the edge of a red dewlap. Definitely looks like a chrysolepis thing.

I second A. planiceps.

The red colour is (barely) visible at the base of the neck – just anteriorly to the front legs. I would say A.planiceps . . .
