A surprise appearance of this Robinson's Forest Dragon aka Robinson's Anglehead Lizard (malayodracon robinsoni) My new acquaintance Steven Wong who is our local reptile expert -herpetologist. You can tag him in his facebook if you need to id any of your findings.
He mentioned the coloration of the lizard I shot is when it is in high alert or distress state. Later it fends off a Rufous-crowned LT which somewhat tried to shoosh it away. It hold its ground and continued feeding on the mealworms at the port.
It is a common reptile in pristine montane environment like in Ulu Kali sometimes sunbathing in the open. Food must be scarce here as it daringly came out amongst the birds here.
