It's a small eyed snake. I can't tell from the photo alone but blowing it up to full size that was my first instinct and the location fits as they are very common around that area and no other snakes in the area have such a similar appearance.

Its a small eyed, its like asking a birdwatcher to identify a sea gull.
They are the bane of an east coast herpers existence.
