This sighting is from the Pilabara region, tropical Western Australia, While iNaturalist's AI algorithm suggest Nearcha (genus), I'm not sure i this sighting matches N. psuodophaes. I think this is a closer match to N. staurotis which is known to occurr in the Kimberley region. See a N, staurotis record from the Kimberley here:-

@misstcameron - It's a legless lizard. A juvenile Delma tincta to be precise. The black head and nape markings are prominent on juveniles, fading to virtual absence with age.

Again, to me, the overall grey colour and the strongly curved fine line joining at the costa suggests D. gerula.
