Unidentified anole by Miguel Landestoy from the Philadelphia Inquirer. Who can name that species (not Miguel!)?
Faye Flam’s Planet of the Apes column in today’s Philadelphia Inquirer is entitled “Is Life Inevitably or Chance? Lizards May Tell.” Turns out that anoles may hold the answer to some of life’s most profound questions.
Professor of Biology and Director of the Living Earth Collaborative at Washington University in Saint Louis. I've spent my entire professional career studying anoles and have discovered that the more I learn about anoles, the more I realize I don't know.

If its not something new, it looks like…Anolis dolichocephalus

Yeah. That was my guess, too. They remind me of A. bahorucoensis, but this guy’s schnoz seems much longer. “Dolicho-” means long, so I guess that fits. I may be mistaken, but A. bahorucoensis also has blue and/or green blotching along its neck, no?
