Great photo for sure!! What a neat situation to happen upon. I once caught a baby black rat swallowing a fuzzy mouse buried amongst some ivy in my back yard. I only noticed the event because the fuzzy was squeaking so loud.

I would say it's a black racer as well. The "dragon eyes" arch from the top of the eye to the nose is what does it for me. I've always felt the racers have an angry look about them, and a black rat has a more relaxed looking face.

Any more pictures from the interaction?
