It's true that browns generally have a divided anal but they can occasionally break this rule. They also normally have a collar and lateral stripes which yours does not. At any rate the key to IDing storeria is the lack of a loreal scale infront of the eye. I believe this trait is exclusive to storeria, atleast among snakes in Ontario. Of the two storeria, the red-belly and the brown, dakayi is definitly the most likely species.

Hope this helps
