Lizards in Two Countries

I took this photo a couple of years ago in our backyard in Kolkata:


...and this one at Tampines Eco Green in Singapore:

They look different but I'm pretty sure they are the same species: oriental garden lizard, also known as changeable lizard because they can change colour. Wikipedia says:

The ground-colour is generally a light brownish olive, but the lizard can change it to bright red, to black, and to a mixture of both. This change is sometimes confined to the head, at other times diffused over the whole body and tail.
