Dragon sunning itself on a rock. Not certain on the species, but looks a bit like C. decresii

Actually seems more likely to be Ctenophorus mirrityana, seems like it was split off of C. decresii

Thanks for the confirmation @BrianHerps , just wondering if this is a significant sighting as this species is endangered in NSW?

Reasonably, however their listing as endangered is mainly attributed to them be extremely range restricted and endemic to the barrier ranges. They are however reasonably common within their limited range.
