That's quite a nice photo, Michael
I call this Confrontation. Two fence lizards, presumably both males, facing off. The one at the right is larger so probably the more dominant. I just missed getting a photo of this larger one doing pushups, which revealed a rather vivid blue coloration on the belly near the front legs. This is most likely (as someone here - probably MFI) pointed out a few months ago) a ritualized display asserting it's dominance in this small territory.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
