In the absence of a dark temporal stripe, this specimen cannot be considered to be Intellagama lesueurii lesueurii. The water dragons in and around Canberra are well known to be the subspecies Intellagama lesueurii howittii, as they lack the dark stripe behind the eye, typical of Intellagama l. lesueurii. So on the balance of probability and no clear evidence to suggest otherwise, this would be best considered to be Intellagama l. howittii. Since the image quality is a bit soft/low resolution, then it perhaps should conservatively be left at species level i.e Intellagama lesueurii.
