Skink ID help..

[Roopak Gangadharan]

Thought of calling this a colourful skink bfore i realised that a different species with the name exists.

The colours on it through the lens were amazing and the pic is not even close . Shot on a dark overcast day and there is visable shake , bfore i could try anything different it scooted off into a hole.
500D, 55-250 AE, f5.6, ISO 400 SS1/60 with inbuilt flash.

Lovely colours. Never seen this one. Do you have any full-body shots? You may have to contact an expert for the ID, since there are no proper field guides either.

Colourful fellow. Where was this photographed?

[Mrudul Godbole]

Nice colours. Good eye contact. The low angle adds to the image. Wish the light was better. Thanks for sharing.

This was at my native village (arrikulam) near calicut.
