I've probably seen hundreds of Broad Bands in my life but I've never seen one so light that at a distance I thought it was a dull copperhead. Could this possibly be a hypo?
All other specimens in the area were significantly darker, displaying the usual coloration of a broadband. This one specimen, however, doesn't seem to display any black pigment.

Thoughts?
