Image of Banded sand snake

Description:

Dark saddles on pinkish background, very shiny smooth scales. Yellow nose/face. I never saw the irises and couldn't get a photograph of the face; it was always obscured by foliage. Found buried in a mound of composted very old horse manure (burrower). Tiny--~8 inches, young? Shiny scales suggested Lampropeltis/kingsnake but color pattern more consistent with Rhinocheilus. Herpetologists please comment.
