Thanks for submitting the photo Brian. This appears to L. guichenoti. Have you got other photos of the same individual?

Will, I am struggling to call this guichenoti, it seems a bit depressed in profile. I am leaning towards spenceri based on no better options and given the less than ideal images

Will, note the pale laterodorsal striping apparent in the second image.
I am confident this is spenceri.

It's hard to get a sense of scale from the photos, but from memory it was bigger than any Lampropholis I have seen

Yes John and Brian, I agree totally - sorry about that muck up. I had noticed the depressed body form flattened head but was surprised by the very definite white lower lateral stripe and didnt think that spenceri had such marked lower lateral stripes. I have now checked the literature and they certainly do! I will change the id.
