This little dragon is a Jacky Lizard. Two characteristics of Mountain Dragons (Rankinia) is that they have dimond-shaped markings that form a zig-zag divide between the darker and lighter markings on the back and have a much shorter tail than that of Jacky Lizards. Mountain dragons occur a bit higher up in the mountains than Bendora Dam.

Rankinia also have lateral spines on the base of the tail, clearly absent here.
