At first glance I might have said delicata as there appears to be no mid dorsal line, but the two species can be annoyingly similar at times and I would be keen for Will to give his opinion before a final decision. Also it appears these two images represent two individuals and although there seems no doubt they are the same species, they probably should be separate postings.

Thanks for this. Yes the photos are 2 different skinks in the same area at the same time. If it is easier I could delete the sighting until I can get better photos to enable an ID. The skinks are never too far away.

I agree with John's first glance this is delicata - no dark mid-vertebral zone and no obvious larger pale (greyish) dots on the back.
