The thing that has me doubting racer is the fact that its mouth isn't attached to the handler's arm. I would have added broad to the banded.
I can remember in Herpetology Lab where the professor got bit in the face by about a 4’ racer. We were on a lake that was drained for some kind of repairs, I can’t remember if it was the boat ramp or something else. He grabbed the tail and was trying to get in a clear area to show the students. He had to step up where the lake had eroded the old high water line and that is when the snake decided to whip up and strike. The racer left about a 1/2” cut, barely missing his eye.
I don't know how bad that could have been, but he probably would have lost that eye or extremely diminished his vision if it cut his eye like that.

This! I see non-venomous snakes described as "harmless" all of the time....While the harm may be on shortlived, a racer will impose his attitude on you and make you think he's worse that he actually is.
Great photos! Might have to take a walk in the woods soon. Seems a little early in the year but the temps obviously have them moving around.
