Banded water snake
Very similar to cottonmouth markings, but as the cottonmouths mature they turn near black. The banded water snake retains the brown coloring and obvious pattern.
All the venomous snakes here in the US *except* the coral snake have cat's eye pupils, not round ones. Of course, getting close enough to determine that could be problematic, but your pic shows round eye clearly.
