Thanks, @Chun for the ID and explanation :)

This is a common and highly variable species. The colors, patterns and size are variable. One way to identify it is through it's characteristic white band on the back of it's head. Males are usually seen on the forest floor during the day, females are usually seen low on tree trunks at night.
