Been debating this with some people, I think it's a DB watersnake, they are convinced it's a Timber Rattler. What do you guys think?

Not sure where the picture was taken, but I would go with Brown watersnake, Nerodia taxispilota.

Thanks for the quick replies guys. I guess I forgot to mention the pic was taken in Georgia. I didn't take that into account either when I guessed it was a diamondback. Now that we got it cleared up I'll hopefully be making some headway convincing some of the other guys that not every snake they find is a moccasin or a rattler. Thanks again!
