Agree, definately a Storeria dekayi.

fyi for the original poster, it is commonly called a Dekay's brown snake, Dekay's, or just brown snake.
They are very common here in Iowa and also in Missouri as well, although they are not seen as often as garters or as well known, probably due to their very small size.
