You said the snake has bands on its stomach?? If this is true, then that rules out midland. The midland has rear facing double row of crescent shapes on its vent. Check out the pic courtesy of snakes and frogs.com:



The markings on the snake you posted look just like an immature midland, however it could be an itergrade with the broad banded as the broad banded ranges throughout LA. The broad banded as a juvenile is very colorful and some have the reds you have on this snake. So if this snake has cross bars on its stomach, then I would have to say it is a midland X broad band intergrade!! Here is a pic of a broad banded courtesy of texassnakes.net:





Its not any of the other 4, just by looking at it. Thats my story and Im stickin to it!! LOL
