Not much to go here but happy to suggest delicata which can have these lateral stripes towards the coast. It looks a bit like Morethia but there is an interparietal which rules that out. Keen to hear Wills comments

I agree this is a difficult one to identify from these photographs. Given the quite large size of those dark dorsal flecks and what might be a head that is more coppery than the rest of the back (from the small amount of the head that we can see) I think more likely to be guichenoti.
