Brown Anole

5 - 8.5 in (12 - 21 cm). Brown anoles are brown to grayish in color, generally with whitish or yellowish patterning on the back. Males generally have an orange or red throat fan with a white edge. Although the brown anole has a shorter snout than the green anole (Anolis carolinensis), the two species are most easily distinguished by the green anole's green or lightly patterned brown coloration and by range.
