Snake identification

This fella (I didn't sex it, so fella is used as a general descriptor here) was lounging in the pond, maybe dining on the tadpoles. I'm almost sure I've seen this type in the area before, but I'm having trouble coming up with an id for it.

Trouser.....

That looks pretty darned close. Thanks all.

Sure thing.

Fwiw, best I can see in the photo I think your snake is female.

Agreed. You can tell by how it looks angry and is foaming at the mouth.

Plus, look at those curves!

What we have here, little yellow sister, is a magnificent specimen of pure Alabama Blacksnake.
