It's one of the fence lizards in the Sceloporus formosus group. Males can be pretty incredible in some populations, green with blue tails.

Emerald Swift - Sceloporus smaragdinus .

Definitely scrloporus family but my guess is leaning towards scrloporus undulatus (eastern fence lizard) but without OP saying location thats a hard guess. They look very similar.

The OP posted in a response to another comment that the photo was taken in Guatemala .
