Well, I assume it it Lampropholis delicata. I would have liked to confirm with an image showing the undivided frontoparietal which looks like you attempted to give us with your third image. Unfortunately the top of the head is heavily shadowed and I might have been able to see the scale if you had lightened it "before" you posted using a range of packages out there for that very job. (I use Photoshop) We can't lighten the images "after" posting. Handy tip for the future.
