Well I am not a reptile expert but I believe this is a Green Anole (Anolis carolinensis) and I think it is a female due to the line that runs down the back. I happened to walk across a wooden bridge over a spillway on a small pond and this one was on the hunt, patiently waiting and looking for any available insect to invite to a lunch for one. They can range in color from green to brown and shades in between.
"Patience is bitter, but it's fruit is sweet."
