The Australian National Botanic Gardens population of water dragons is known to be the subspecies Intellagama lesueurii howittii, so based on probability this specimen would be that subspecies.
Since this specimens colours and patterns are somewhat obscured by dirty/stained skin, then it may be prudent to leave it at species level i.e Intellagama lesueurii, due to the degree of uncertainty, albeit slight.
