Hey.

Please can someone help me identify this chameleon. It was photographed in Etosha National Park, Namibia. The image is online at: http://www.njr304.com/#!__namibia/vstc42=n3

If you have any difficulty accessing it, please go to www.njr304.com and view image number 3 in the Namibia gallery.

I can't remember the exact size of it, but I would say it was certainly no bigger than about 20cm from snout to vent.

Your help would be much appreciated - thank you. If you need any more details that will help ID, please ask and I will do my best to answer.

Thank you. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
 
The chameleon in that photo is a male Flap-necked Chameleon (Chamaeleo dilepis). You can tell based on the hemipenal bulge, occipital lobes, and shape of the casque and dorsal crest.
