Hi, I took this picture in Kyrgyzstan at the Salt lake, along the SW shore of the Issik Kul Lake.
I think it is an Eremias but I'm not able to tell the species.
Please, can you help me?
Thank you very much
Igor

Thank you Mario!
Is the red undertail diagnostic?

no, many Eremias have red tails - at least as they are subadult, and females.
the ocelles surrounded by big black areas are typical for all velox.
