Snake ID (no pic, so a challenge for the experts)

I hunted the Tensas lottery hunt a couple weekends ago, and while I was there I saw a snake when scouting some between hunts. It was maybe 6-8 inches long maybe 10 max, really small and light browned/copper colored. I thought it was an earthworm when I first saw it move actually. My buddy and I were too mesmerized to get a pic. What snake is this?
It may be common, but I never hunted up around there before and had never seen one like it. Any ideas?

Eastern Worm Snake
Highly dangerous, can kill with just a look.

Rough earth snake?

Color looked closer to this one.
But it could be the rough earth snake if those are more common in LA. Just wasn't that dark, from what I'm seeing on google images.

Big skink? You didn't see the legs?

Wasn't a skink. I'm pretty convinced it was the eastern worm snake.

Yeah, they're small at first but they grow into these.
Really though, could have been a copperhead or a dozen other things if in fact it was a snake. No pic, no real answer.

I had these in my yard in Alexandria. Lots of color variation.
Unless it had a pattern, then maybe a Dekay's.

That's an upland species. It was a Dekay's

sure it didnt have any coloration around the head, like a ring? These can be light or darker in color

No coloration in the head. Much lighter than that one.

It could have been a young one of these, that was the color brown. Those pictures seem to have faint pattern on them, but this one didn't. Unless I can't remember clearly.
