Thats the whole idea, as it is a very misleading colour.

From what parietals and frontal scales on the head I can see, I would say Copperhead Austrelap superbus

I thought it was a tiger too at first but when I dragged it out it was just another copperhead, I was after photos of a tiger as it was the 5th copperhead I had found that day. I didn't get any other photo's of that particular animal as it went balistic when I caught it and I had a group of kids with me, and as I had taken about 50 photo's of copperheads that day, I thought it best to drop it. Location was the Snowy Mountains, it was right on the edge of the road. The copperheads in the area are massive, I will post some pics up of some others later today, have to look for the file.
