A surprise  appearance of this Robinson's Forest Dragon aka Robinson's Anglehead Lizard  (malayodracon robinsoni)  My new acquintance  Steven Wong who is our local reptile expert -herpetologist. You can tag him in  his facebook if you need to id any of your finding.

He mentioned the coloration of the  lizard I shot is when it is in high alert or distress state. Later it fend 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 enviroment like  in Ulu Kali sometimes bathing in the open. Food must be scarce here as it daringly came out amongst the birds here.
