What Is This Mexican Anole?

My anthropologist friend Jennifer Mathews used to do field work in the Yucatan, and she had an anole friend she named Elmer who visited her every morning at breakfast.  (Elmer is pictured below on Jen’s cereal bowl.)  We’d like to know what species it is – can the AA readers help?

    Looks to be rodriguezi, which is a pretty common species in the Yucatan.

    I agree with Levi; attched is an image of that species for comparison.

    Thanks, Levi and Joe! I’ll pass this ID along.
