Cute Lizard!

My friend and I were heading back to office after lunch today when these small group of girls started screaming and shouting and backing away from something that we apparently could not see. The only guy that was with them starting kicking thin air, to scare whatever it was that was there.

When we approached them, we noticed what all the commotion was about. There was this lizard, cleverly camouflaged with the ground, sitting in the middle of the pathway. We started to laugh, then squeal at the absolute cuteness of it.

When we went closer to take a closer look, it spread its wing-like things at the side of it's body. Then we noticed it did that everytime we scared it. We tried to take a photo of it, but by the time our phones were out (mine didn't have space so I wasted precious time clearing my photos -_-") it got immune to all the disturbing we were doing.

The best shots we got are those below:

Though I really have to stress that's NOT how it looks like when it's scared... That's when it's half-scared or calming down... When the wings are fully extended it looks beautiful =D

Anyone knows what species/breed this little critter is?
