Saw this snake the other day while out herping and am having trouble figuring out whether it is an Eastern or Western Coachwhip due to the color pattern. It has the faded tan look going towards the tail like the Eastern but also has red on it like a Western. I usually see all black Eastern Coachwhips around this area, this is the first with red on it. It was right outside of the Houston Texas area that these pictures were taken. Any help with ID would be appreciated...I could be wrong and this isn't either of them, I resized the pics so they wouldn't take forever to load but if you want to see them in better quality, or another pic from a different angle I have a bunch so just let me know, thanks.

Thanks for help with the ID everybody, tells me I definitely live in an area where the two subspecies overlap since theres a huge Eastern thats always out about 100 feet from this one.
