Here is a snake we've photographed in Iran, can anyone help with ID? I was thinking of Spalerosophis microlepis, but I am not sure due to lack of head markings.
Thanks,
Ali

The head doesn't look like Spalerophis to me.
That looks more like Coluber. My guess is Coluber karelini although I believe there are several banded Coluber like that.
The contrast does suggest C. karelini from what little I have seen of it.

I second that.
