This specimen is Eulamprus heatwolei in my opinion due to it having a black anterior margin to the tympanum, a bright yellow temporal streak, heavy spotting on top of the head and dark markings on its throat.
How do you suggest a different ID to the species that this observation has been ascribed to?

E. heatwolei and E. tympanum can be hard to separate in some photographs. However this photo is clear. I agree this is E. heatwolei. Geoff do you want to make the change to E. heatwolei? WillO
