Yep, definitely an anole, definitely male (females have no or very tiny dewlaps). Could be a Brown Anole, but there’s a wide variety of species, some of which look very similar.

Where I’m from (SW Florida), these little buggers are EVERYWHERE. I used to spend whole afternoons just watching them run around our pool deck. The males would display and challenge one another and the females would watch. They would chase after the fire ants and eat them, for which I was eternally grateful. They’re fun to watch and very beautiful creatures.

Indeed, it looks to be an anole. Escher-esque, perhaps?
