Not calotes versicolor for sure... except for the head neck shapes, it looks more like Calotes calotes of India. But VianneyTedjamulia's id is spot on i think...

I think this one is Green Crested Lizard which native to Indonesia. It can also change its color from green to brown or black with white-yellow vertical bar. Calotes versicolor is non-Indonesia species. Very nice you can spotting it alive UrifahRidlo, usually i found it become Unidentified Road Pizza (Got crushed by vehicles) :( Btw, its nice to know that someone from Malang also join project noah.
