Sonoran Spotted Whiptail (Aspidoscelis sonorae)
This whiptail was working hard at devouring some sort of insect, but still managed to pay enough attention to me to avoid letting me get a good shot of it.

Aspidoscelis sonorae is one of the unisexual whiptail species.

This species was placed in the genus Cnemidophorus until recently, so most reference books still use that name.
