Lizard ID

Taken in 2014. Looks like a member of Draconinae, but not sure what species.
@SusScrofa the Seek app gave me the same suggestion :p it does look pretty close, but I wanted to check and see what the consensus was on here. I don't know my pricklenapes and japalures all that well.
 
B. cristatella was my first thought also, but that's probably just because that's the one I'm familiar with.

I found a couple of papers with keys to the genus but they aren't open access. I did find this link though which is the key from one of them, but I think it might need a bit of explanatory background to properly use it (e.g. apparently B. cristatella falls under "nuchal crest weakly developed" which must be a relative opinion). However it does have all the species so they will be easy enough to check. Certainly the dark tympanum and orbit suggests cristatella as the ID.
Bronchocela Kaup 1827
