My husband and I caught this snake this weekend in Northern Nevada (Ely). We already have a Great Basin whose pattern and colors are quite a bit different than this. I think this one is either a Sonoran or a Great Basin. Can anyone help?

He's a Great Basin
Looks like ones I have seen on the Modoc plateau and around Tule Lake. What I call an intergrade Pacific, Great Basin cross.
