Caught this in the office at work today and released it outside.
Was at pinkenba brisbane.
It had no blotches on its belly. Belly was a rusty dark brown bourbon colour.

Not the easiest to see but from coloration. In particular the white stripe on the face as well as location my guess is marsh snake - H. signata
 
Since you have evidently seen it, what colour was its belly?

Blue
 
Not a shadow of a doubt. Its a Swamp or Marsh snake. Blown up you can clearly see the yellow stripe on the face
 
Thanks for that.

With the improved photo it clearly shows a cream stripe from the eye backwards along the side of the neck. That combined with a dark ventral surface identifies this as a Marsh Snake (Hemiaspis signata). You probably have some manner of water body nearby.

Yea there is a stream running down the other side of the road overgrown with grass etc. I released him in there.
