I caught this in central Oklahoma. I think I know what it is (or at least what it isn't!). What do you guys think?

Hard to tell for sure, but I believe it is either a Tantilla or Virginia.

Looks like Tantilla gracilis (Flathead Snake) to me.

I guess it could be Tantilla nigriceps, but I can't be sure from that photograph. I would need to see a photo that was in focus.
