Not an expert by any means, and the pics aren't real clear (I'm no helmut newton myself btw), but the head scalation is suspect. My black milk experience prior to color change tells me there should be more lighter snout scales (similar to andesiana) versus that banded appearance I'm seeing. Keep in mind black milks have a remarkable irredescence prior to and after color change.
