I checked for lack of the loreal scale and it is missing. Nothing between the nasals and the preoculars. If this is definitive ID then it is a Brown Snake.

The odd part is the vent scale is clearly not split. I'm not that old that my eyes deceive me. The other things I find odd are the belly is almost white (versus pale yellow/brown) and the snake is very active during daylight. I had thought Brown Snakes were nocturnal for the most part.

Its pretty warm here the last few days. I'll be returning it to the woods tomorrow.
