Description

Sorry for the bad photo, can anyone identify what skink this is? Seen in Tauranga Bay, Farn north, February 2024. To me it looked like an ornate skink but I have seen those multiple times now and this doesn’t look quite the same, also some other skinks in the area (from memory) had red tail tips which I believe is a characteristic feature of copper skinks
