ID this snake?

Earlier this year while looking for my prodigal husky, I came across this snake, curled up in a hole. It was such an odd color I ran back for my camera to snap a shot of it. Any ideas?

I think coachwhip is the answer! The color of the snake in your reference picture is correct... and it definitely wasn't a rattler (at least the tail tip didn't have rattles at all).


Thanks!
