I would greatly appreciate any information as to identity of this
snake. Photo taken about 2 hours ago in SW Oregon by a small pond.
Snake appeared to be approx. 12" long and that is about all I know.

Thanks for any and all help.

It looks very much like a juvenile racer (Coluber constrictor).

Thank you very much for your thought.

The western yellow-bellied racer is found west of the Rocky Mountains, from southern California and Nevada through through western Colorado, Oregon, and Washington and into southern British Columbia. <
