Lizard ID

Identified by signage as Serrated Casquehead Iguana (Laemanctus serratus), but based on visual reassessment and ZTL listings I'm wondering if it's actually L. longipes, or maybe another species?

It is definitely a Laemanctus. Cannot tell longipes or serratus from just this photo, without seeing the casque and dorsal ridge.
 
This looks really different from other Laemanctus I've seen. Do they look very different based on age or something?
 
@Coelacanth18 Just thought I'd point out that when I visited Nashville in February they had L. longipes, signed and seen. Its of course possible they did have L. serratus three years ago when you visited and then replaced it with longipes, but a missigned species is now not out of the question.
