While the dorsal pattern appears to support nigrolutea, there appears to be a dark temporal stripe. This individual may be a hybrid?

I would suggest this is just an easter blue tongue with sstrong dorsal patterning, I see the resemblance to nigrolutea, but at this location and given the temporal stripe and overall shape and pattern i think this is just ssconcoides.

Based on all that, I suggest we go with scincoides, albeit an unusual dorsal pattern.
