Legless lizard ID

[Jaded]

Picked this little guy up, just wondering if anyone can ID exactly what kind of legless lizard this is.

Thank you

Agreed

Plain colour form of the Common Scaly-foot Pygopus lepidopus.

It identifies as a Pygopus species due to its robust body form with quite a blunt rounded snout and very obvious, slanted ear opening just above and behind angle of jaw. It will also posses large hind limbs flaps and a tail twice the length of the body (if original). The thin dark bar from the eye, through the lips and onto the throat and absence of dark bands across the nape or head identifies it as lepidopus.
