Need Anole identification

I'll preface this by saying that I have lived in Florida for nearly 30 years and have seen literally thousands of anoles.
However, this is the first that I have seen with this head coloration.

Can anyone identify this animal?

He has typical body color, but is sporting a bright rusty red head.

I apologize for the poor picture clarity, but this little fellow refuses to let me get close to him.
I had to take these pictures at full zoom.



Any ideas?

Thank you.

Female brown anole there Mike ,A. segrei.
The female sometimes sport some red or orange on the head to show suiters that they are ready and willing, the small head and lack of tail bulge show it to be a female
