Yes I agree with John. L. guichenoti has a broad dark stripe down centre of back and also has quite distinct dark and pale flecks on the back. Both features seem to be lacking in your photo and would be typical of L. delicata. It would have helped if a second photo had been taken viewing down onto the lizard from above.

There is a second photo from the top.
Given your description, I agree with the identification.
