...usually catenatus will have a black or charcoal colored belly.

tergeminus, typically has a cream or light colored belly(same with edwardsii). I actually owned all 3 species at one time and verified this per Venomous Reptiles of North America by C. Ernst.

Hi,
I owned 3 of these and it's definitely tergeminus. And a male to boot.
Best...
Jim
